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."

‎First printing of both papers in which Ramsay and Cleve - independently - announced their discovery of Helium on the Earth. Although Ramsay announced the discovery of Helium before Cleve had completed his research, the Swedish chemist was independent discoverer of the element.Helium was discovered in the sun already in 1868 by Jules Janssen and independently by Lockyer the same year. Janssen discovered helium in the sun when he observed a total eclipse in India by studying the spectra of the suns chromosphere and Lockyer, also by spectroscopy, found that the new line in the spectrum did not belong to any element then known and he named it Helium for the sun.In the same volume as Ramsays paper there are 5 papers by NORMAN LOCKYER dealing with the discovery of Helium on the earth, examining Ramsay's and Cleve's findings.Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1895.‎

‎Second edition of Ramsay's work on an imaginary tour of the ancient world undertaken by Cyrus, founder of the Persian Empire. He meets famous figures such as Pythagoras and Zoroaster who give him lessons on how a wise leader should act. The work because very popular and was published in numerous editions.""Les Voyages de Cyrus was first published in 1727 and became a bestseller in France and then in Britain after being translated into English by Nathaniel Hooke, nephew of the Jacobite agent of the same name. Ramsay’s work imagines the travels of Cyrus the Great, the 6th-century BC founder of the first Persian Empire. Cyrus’s early life had been fictionalised by Xenophon of Athens as a way to promote his own political and moral philosophy and Ramsay uses this device to drive his own narrative. The work is also strongly influenced by Archbishop Fénelon’s Les aventures de Télémaque, fils d’Ulysse (The adventures of Telemachus, son of Ulysses). Though Fénelon’s work appears to be set in the time of Homer’s heroes it was immediately seen as a scathing attack on the autocratic rule of Louis XIV and the self-indulgent nature of aristocratic society. Ramsay also draws on the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, notably for a grisly event towards the end of Book 1."" (National Library of Scotland).‎

‎The old glaciers of Switzerland and North Wales.‎

‎These pages originally appeared as one of the chapters in «Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers», by the members of the Alpine Club. This will account for the appearance of one or two brief passages not essential to the scientific bearing of the subject. Part one (p. 7-34, with 3 text illustrations) is on the old glaciers of Switzerland. This treatise is useful, not only to the geologist specially interested in the study of British glacial phenomena, but also in some degree to the less scientific tourist who explores the mountains and valleys of North Wales. Illustrated with engraved views and diagrams, and one large two-colour folding map ‘Sketch Map showing the course of the glaciers of Snowdon and its neighbourhood, by A.C. Ramsay’. not in Perret. ‎

‎First printing of this importent paper in the history of chemistry, Lord Rayleigh's most famous discovery, announcing the discovery of this new gas, the first finding of one of the rare gases (inert gases) having unusual properties, and forming a distinct group in the periodic table, and all with zero valency.""The original paper in the ""Philosophical Transactions"" will undoubtly rank as a classic, the investigation having been a particularly brilliant ine."" (Ernst von Meyer in History of Chemistry). For this discovery Lord Rayleigh and W. Ramsay received the Nobel Prize (1904).After having made several measuring of the densities of gases, ""Rayleigh came across a curious puzzle. With oxygen, he always obtained the same density, regardless of how the oxygen might be produced, whether from one particular compound, from a second compound, or from the air. The situation was different with nitrogen. The nitrogen he obtained from air constantly showed a slightly higher density than the nitrogen he obtained from any of various compounds. Rayleigh could think of several ways in which the nitrogen obtained from air might be contaminated but none of the possibilities checked out experimentally. He was so frustrated that he went so far as to write to the journal ""Nature"" asking for suggestions. Ramsay, a brilliant Scottish chemist, asked permission to tackle the problem and received it. The upshot was that a new gas, somewhat denser that nitrogen, was discovered to exist in the atmosphere. It was named argon and it was the first of a series of rare gases of unusual properties whose existence had never been suspected.""(Asimow).Dibner, Heralds of Science No. 50 - Neville, Historical Chemical Library vol.

‎First appearance of the paper in which Ramsay and Travers announced their discovery of a new element which they named ""krypton"" (meaning hidden).""Dr. William Hampson presented them (Ransay & Travers) with about a liter of liquid air, which they used, not for liquefying the argon, but for obstaining sufficient skill in manipulation so that they would not risk loosing their precious fifteen liter of argon......The residue left after most of the liquid air had boliled away consisted largly of oxygen and nitrogen, which Ramsay and Travers temoved with red-hot copper and magnesium. ....(they) then examined the twenty-five cibic centimeters of residual gas, and when they found it to be inerst, they immediately placedit in a Pl'ucker tube connected to and induction coil and observed its spectrum. There was a bright yelælow line with a greener tint than that of the helium line and a brilliant green line that did nor coincide with any line of argon, helium, mercury, or hydrogen. They discoverede this gas on 30 May, 1898, and named it 'krypton'....they found that it belonged between bromine and rubidium in the periodic table, and so great was their excitement that the younger chemist almost forgot about his examination for doctor of sciwence which had been schedules for the next day.""(Weeks, p. 267).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1898 C.‎
