While gladly complying with the request that I should 

 add to the preceding notice of the scientific work of the late 

 Sir Henry Roscoe, and of the part taken by him in the 

 proceedings of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical 

 Society, a few words concerning his general services to 

 education. 1 must confess to an initial difficulty in making 

 such an attempt. As Roscoe himself, in his Autobiography, 

 says of Pasteur, the great benefactor of suffering humanity, 

 for whom, next to Bunsen, the "guide, philosopher and friend" 

 of his early manhood, he cherished, perhaps, the most thorough 

 personal admiration, he began and ended as a chemist. It 

 was his faithful devotion to the science to which he had at 

 an early date, with what at the time was no slight proof of 

 moral courage, elected to give up his life, which lay at the 

 root of his success as a teacher. And, since he had soon 

 come to see that chemistry cannot be rightly taught as an 

 isolated science, his fidelity to his chosen study aroused in him 

 an interest in scientific teaching in general, and, with it, in 

 higher and in secondary, including technical education, of
