Abstract
THE first scientific words, probably, ever printed from the pen of Sir William Ramsay read curiously now that the full chapter of his writings is closed. They served to introduce his career, and may, with an unexpected aptness, be recalled at its close. Though he left early, he left behind much that has already become a permanent part of the common heritage of science, well known to all. On this, once again for a moment, those now mourning his sad and untimely death may linger, loth to say farewell.
