Scottish chemist (1852–1916) who discovered the noble gases and won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, March 10, 1906. Letter to William Rideing. In full: “I am sorry that you do not think the article suitable. I have re-read it & it appears to me pretty plain; but of course you know your public best. I think it will be the best thing to do if I send you another and a simpler article. Would you like one with the title ‘How Discoveries are made?’ It might prompt some of your young friends to go & do like-wise. I shall wait to hear from you, before beginning such an article. In the meantime, I am sending the one on ‘What is Electricity’ to Harpers. I see you have paid us for it. Perhaps I had better just hold that, & ask for the usual terms from Harpers, providing you wish another article. Please tell me if you agree to that course.” In fine condition, with a few spots of edge toning from previous mounting. RRAuction COA.
