This is a unique collection of rare experiences, enterprise and adventure that gives an insight into the unusual attributes of Arthur Ransome and the exceptional characters to be found in his books.
The path of countless ages has been trod By many a scholar now forgotten, save For the inscribed tombstone of his grave (If not already sunken ‘neath the sod). And if these men be now mere names or less, They’ve done their share to keep the School alive, And uphold that tradition we derive From those men in the days of Good Queen Bess; And we must let our fame be ne’er outshone, Holding aloft the school’s honour and name, That she may continue to rise in fame, Surpassing heights attained in years now gone. However, this our work cannot be done Unless a share is taken by each one. — Flight Lieutenant Benjamin Robinson DFC RAF, former CRGS pupil, Killed in Action over Germany, 17th June 1944.

Originally published in 1927, this textbook is a self-contained and systematic introduction to the principles of chemistry and was designed to complement the study of undergraduate students and to act as an adjunct to university lectures and laboratory teaching. The book covers a diversity of subjects, ranging from 'The halogens and their derivatives' to 'Nitrogen and its compounds' to 'Molecular and atomic weight determinations' and notably, the more advanced subjects of hydrogen-ion concentration and the chemistry of colloids have been included for reference too. No previous knowledge is assumed and the only pre-requisite is some elementary knowledge on laboratory terminology. Diagrams are also included to support the text. This book offers a valuable overview of chemistry and will be of interest to students looking for an introduction on the subject as well as to researchers and scholars interested in the history of education.
