Abstract
SAMUEL RIDEAL was born in London in 1863. His father was John Rideal. He obtained a scholarship at Dulwich College, 1875–1878. For a short time he studied at the Royal School of Mines, but afterwards went to University College, London, where, in 1883, he became assistant to Dr. A. W. Williamson. He retained this post for a year or two under Sir William Ramsay, but in 1889 became lecturer on chemistry at St. Georges Hospital Medical School. He was a brilliant student, and in 1884 took the degree of bachelor of science at the University of London, with first class honours, and a University scholarship in chemistry. Two years later he received the degree of doctor of science, his subject being inorganic chemistry. In 1888 he was elected a fellow of University College, London. Already in 1878 he had become a fellow of the Institute of Chemistry, upon the council of which he served during the years 1899–1902.
