His work on several of the rare gases earned him the name Rare gas Travers in scientific circles. He was the founding director of the Indian Institute of Science. - Sir William Ramsay KCB FRS FRSE (2 October 1852 23 July 1916) was a Scottish chemist who discovered the noble gases and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 ""in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air"" along with his collaborator, John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics that same year for their discovery of argon. After the two men identified argon, Ramsay investigated other atmospheric gases. His work in isolating argon, helium, neon, krypton and xenon led to the development of a new section of the periodic table." "ex-library copy, the binding is lightly used, top of the spine-end torn, 2 cms missing of clothes on the bottom of the spine, binding remains clean and rather nice, no dust-jacket, inside is in good condition, but with few library markings and book plate, the text is fine and unmarked, the book is incribed by Morris W. Travers to Chaston Chapman (Alfred Chaston Chapman was a chemist with a specialist interest in fermentation and brewing. He was president of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling from 1911-1913. In 1939 his widow donated to Leeds University Library his collection of books). This item is coming from Leeds University Library, with the stamp ""cancelled"". A very interesting paper on the origins of Rare Gases and Sir William Ramsay"‎
