A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Glasgow in 1852. His paternal grandfather was a dyer at Haddington, who in 1780 became a partner in the firm of Arthur Turnbull, Camlachie, manufacturers of chemicals used by dyers. As Sir William Ramsay has himself related, it is probable that both potassium bichromate and the well-known Turnbul TsB lue were discovered by his grandfather. He appears to have been well known to many celebrated French chemists of his day, such as Gay-L ussac, De Morveau, and Vauquelin. He died in 1827, leaving three sons and a daughter Andrew Ramsay, who afterwards became Sir Andrew Ramsay, F.R.S., head of the Geological Survey of Great Britain ;J ohn Ramsay, who became a sugar manufacturer in Demerara; William Ramsay, the father of Sir William Ramsay; and Eliza Ramsay, who was an enthusiastic worker in field botany. William Ramsay was trained as an engineer, and took part in the great railway development of the period.
