Abstract
MR. EDWARD JOHN BEVAN, who died suddenly on October 17, in his sixty-fifth year, was educated at private schools, and at the age of seventeen entered the laboratory of the Runcorn Soap and Alkali Co. Thence, in 1877, he proceeded to Owens College, Manchester, where he met Mr. C. F. Cross, and the student friendship continued after the college career, each entering upon research work in connection with cellulose industries, upon which they kept up an active correspondence and a certain amount of collaboration. This resulted in a definite joint adventure, and the work was continued at the Jodrell Laboratory, Kew Gardens.
