the late Carl Schorlemmer. 195 



"Treatise" unfinished ; but he left the MS.of an "Introduction 

 to the History of Chemistry," which is being prepared for 

 publication. 



Schorlemmer was elected a member of this Society in 

 1870, and served on the Council for several years. He was 

 elected into the Royal Society in 1871. In 1874 a Chair 

 of Organic Chemistry was created for him at the Owens 

 College. He died June 19th, 1892, aged 58. 



This short record of Schorlemmer's life cannot be more 

 fitly concluded than by quoting the words of his friend and 

 colleague at the Owens College, Sir Henry Roscoe : — " He 

 was of a retiring, most modest, and unassuming disposition. 

 To only a few of his intimates, German and English, were 

 his true colours visible. As a laboratory teacher he was 

 excelled by few, merely as a lecturer by many. But 

 although, like some other eminent lecturers, his diction may 

 have been faulty, the staple article was there, and I never 

 met a real student amongst all those who passed through 

 his hands who did not express his admiration for the man, 

 and his sense of the obligation which he felt for the 

 masterly instruction Schorlemmer always gave."
