Abstract
DR. G. H. BAILEY, advisory chemist of the British Aluminium Company, Ltd., died recently at the age of seventy-two; and an appreciative account of his life and work appears in Chemistry and Industry, from which the following particulars have been taken. Dr. Bailey graduated at London and in 1880 became science master at Tettenhall College, near Wolver-hampton. He left this post to go to the Owens College, Manchester, where he was engaged in research on spectroscopic analysis under Prof, (now Sir Arthur) Schuster, on chlorophyll under Dr. Schunk, and on vanadium compounds under Prof, (afterwards Sir Henry) Roscoe. During this period he held the Dalton Chemical Scholarship. For a year, 1884-1885, he went to Heidelberg, studying under Bunsen, Kopp, Quincke and Rosenbusch, after which he returned to the Owens College as demonstrator and lecturer in chemistry, remaining there for the succeeding twenty-four years.
