PAGENAME(31 october, 1870 –17 october, 1939) was an english chemist. He studied crystallography under H. A. Miers and became deeply interested in it. In all his earlier researches much of the work was devoted to securing crystallographic data, and the hours he spent in the dark room with his goniometer were probably among the happiest in his life. These crystallographic studies had an important influence on the development of his chemical work, for they enhanced that natural faculty for visualising spatial relationships which drew him inevitably into the field of stereochemistry where his greatest achievements were won.
