Abstract
DR. R. MESSEL died on Sunday, April 18, in his seventy-third year. Death came to him as a happy release but to a large circle of friends familiar with his social qualities and many acts of unostentatious generosity the loss is severe and will be deeply mourned. He had long been one of the most notable of our chemical manufacturers as pioneer founder of a most important industry, for he was the first to produce sulphuric anhydride from its elements on a large scale.
