Abstract
PROF. SYDNEY YOUNG, after a brief illness, died in a nursing home in Bristol on April 8 at the age of seventy-nine years. He received his training in chemistry at Owens College, Manchester, and the University of Strasbourg, and in 1882 was appointed lecturer under William Ramsay in University College, Bristol. From that date until Ramsay went to London in 1887, he and Young published a series of joint papers dealing with such subjects as evaporation and dissociation, the properties of water and steam, and the thermal properties of many liquids.
