The College Council, however. wisely perhaps," as he wrote in Reminiscences, thought differently and in spite of a memorial signed by over 300 of the chief manufacturing firms in the district expressing tho desire that his connection with 'the College should not be wholly broken they accepted his resignation unconditionally.

They expressed at the same time their conviction that the high rank which tho Collogo had taken as a place of education and" the. fact that its chemistry department held a position second to that of no other institution in the United Kingdom wag in great measure due to Roscoe's personal distinction and personal services. The resignation did tint take effect at once, and his successor, Professor H. B. Dixon, appointed at the end of 18SG, entered on his duties at tho beginning of 1SS7.

Roscoe wrote easily and in a ftyle that tho lemarkable success of his books on chemistry has proved to be popular. The first edition of his- Elementary Lessons- in Chemistry appeared in 18G6 and before 188? 117,000 copies had becli sold. It has also been translated into German. Russian, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Swedish, Greek, Japanese, and Urdoo. Roscoo took great delight in showing the Uidoo translation, of which the size was'larger than the original, and in which the illustration of a tfecimrfrc had been, proportionately enlarged.

Even more popular than the Elementary Lessons" was the excellent Primer of Chemistry," and deservedly so. When the first success of tha Elementary Lessons had somewhat waned Roscoe wroto other elementary books in conjunction with his pupils. But the Textbook composed in conjunction with Schorlemmer, and mentioned above, was his greatest written effort. In the work of John Dalton ho always took a lively interest his life of Dalton, published in Messrs. Cassell's Century Series, is brightly and interest-iugly written, and it was followed by a work of erudition, A New View of Dalton's Atomic Theory," based on a study of Dalton's notebooks by himself and his former pupil Dr.

Arthur Harden, and published under their joint uarnefc.

"Tt cannot be said even at the present day that the problem of linking secondary with university education lias been sulved in England.

But while others were discussing causes of failure, Rnscop, though not unaware nf the difficulties to be overcome, determined that the College should ho a success, and to no one man more than to is that success due. Roscoe it was who made Manchester conscious that it was a University town, r.nd the College conscious that it was part of Man-chcfitcr. Others had as much. Roscoe made the tiling He, had the gift of a great statesman for recognising capacity of the most; varied kinds and for enlisting it to help forward his aims a gift made as evident by his choice of helpers in the scientific work inside- the College as by the men whom he induced to come from "tho outside- and help in its guidance aud administration. Of these latter Mr.

Thomas Ashtan. "the steam! founder," stands in the foremost rank, and Roseoo remembered to the last with a just pride that it was he who brought Ashton's friendship to the College. Roscoe's humour and his fine bluff way, frets fronisall trace of superiority, appealed" to a Northern public. The Transition of Owens College. From tho inside he set to work to build up the College fortunes no less steadily.

From the year 1860 memoir after memoir came from Roscoe himself, either alone or in conjunction with others, and from his demonstrators and pupils. Of Roscoe's numerous memoirs the more important dealt with the boiling point of dilute acids, with perchloric acid, with vanadium, the vanadium compounds, and certain compounds of tungsten, and various problems concerning spectroscopy and tho chemical action ofjlight. It was by the investigation uf vanadium that his name became familiar in every school of chemistry. Berzelius, the great Swedish chemist, had mistaken for the element an extremely stable oxide, Roscoe investigating an 010 found at Mottram, in Cheshire, discovered the error, and set the chemistry of this element on an entirely new basis. On the recommendation of William Dittmar, one of his first assistants, who was leaving the College, Uoecoe had engaged Cflrl Schorlemmer to succeed him.

The Choice was singularly fortunate. Schorlemmer, who had no university degree, whoso lectures were difficult in the extreme to follow, modest, disliking committees and public appearances of every kind, a man of the laboratory and the library, and who could in no way have taken Roscoe's own of extraordinary service iu the building up of tho great school of chemistry on which Roscoe had set his heart. His experimental work in organic chemistry' contained in some 53 papers, became classical! His erudition was immense. He became successively Demonstrator aud Lecturer, and in 1S74. was appointed Professor of Organic Chemistry in the College.

In 1877 Roscoe and Schorlemmer began the publication of their great text-book, of which the last portion dealing with organic chemistry, was completed in Germany after Schorlemmer's death. Biit Roscoe was not ambitious for Lis own department alone. He insisted on creation of a Chair of -Phvsics in the College iu I860. It was "he who induced las cousin William Stanley Jevons to accept a niodt-st coHeee tutorhin in classics and mathematics, from" which Jevons through. his.

own splendid work rapidly vanced to a chair in and in 1875 together with Dr. Greenwood, Dr. Morgan 'and Dr. Ward, he originated tho movement for the conversion of the College into a University, of Manchester. It will be within the recollection of-all that the opposition.
