Abstract
BY the death of Sir William Tilden on Saturday, Dec. 11, in his eighty-fifth year, British chemistry lost one of its best known and most loved representatives. Born before Frankland had endowed the atom with valency, or Cannizzaro had used the implications of Avogadro's hypothesis to fix its relative weight, his span of life bridged the gulf between conceptions so widely separated as the indivisible unit of that remote time and the congeries of protons and electrons of the present day.
