impetuous imagination, conceiving brilliant ideas and stimulating

had devoted much time to experimental research in photosynthesis, 
and we owe to him the first attempts in this country to apply the 
results of physical chemistry to the intricate problems of biology. 
Much of the results obtained by him in this line of work is 
embodied in the book he published last year, “ Biochemistry, a

Earlier publications in book form were, “ The Dawn of the Health

problems which engaged his attention. 
Sir Edward Sharpey Schafer, Professor of Physiology, Edinburgh,

have to deplore the loss of a fellow-worker whose loyalty and 
modesty of character endeared him to all his friends and not least 
to myself.”
