Subject: One of G S Newth's most popular chemistry texts
Subject: One of G S Newth's most popular chemistry texts
Born in Plymouth (England), George Samuel Newth (1851-1936) was the son and one of about four children of Dr the Rev Samuel Newth (1821– 1898), principal of New College, London, a noted Biblical scholar, non conformist and mathematician. [George Samuel Newth was brother to Kate NEWTH born c1846 Shropshire, Brother to Anne Elizabeth NEWTH born Mar 1844, registered Madeley Shropshire (Who married Samuel Edward BUTTENSHAW (1871) a secretary Islington), Brother to James Aldridge NEWTH Born Jun 1847 Plymouth, Devon - died 10 Aug 1923 Lane Cove Sydney buried Waverley cemetery (NZ)].
This book (one of 5 books by G S Newth published by Longman, Green & Company of London, England) first appeared in 1894. His other books were 'Chemical Lecture Experiments' first published in 1892. Old copies of his Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry can be found for sale quite reasonably priced from internet book suppliers. It has been reported of John D R Thomas past president (1990) of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 'Analytical Proceedings, July 1990, Vol 27 p161 that his interest in chemistry derived from his father’s 1913 edition of G. S. Newth’s “Elementary Practical Chemistry-A Laboratory Manual for Use in Organized Science
Schools,”. Herbert Marcus Powell's (1906-1991) biographical details [Biog.Mems. Fell. R. Soc. Lond. 46, 425-442 (2000)] include a poem he wrote about chemicals (The Chemists Dream) which included the lines -
"I awoke upon a grassy bank beside the river Pharpar
In a scene that would have gladdened G.S. Newth or Bruce and Harper"-
Other books Newth had published included 'A Manual of Chemical Analysis - Qualitative and Quantitative' in 1898 and 'Elementary Practical Chemistry' first published about 1896 (earliest UK copy seen is 1904) which was for school chemistry classes. This book was called 'Elementary Inorganic Chemistry' when sold in the USA. 'Smaller Chemical Analysis' published in 1906. was his final book. An American, George D Timmons had a book published in 1912 (Longman Green and Co) called 'Questions on Newth's Inorganic Chemistry' which is hard to find outside of the British Library (BL system number 003640330). Newth also had a number of papers published. For example: "An apparatus for showing experiments with ozone. GS Newth Journal of the Chemical Society, Transactions 69, 1298-1299, Royal Society of Chemistry, 1896.
and "Notes on partially miscible aqueous inorganic liquids" J. Chem. Soc., Trans., 1900, 77, 775 - 778.
Another paper gave an improved method for producing ethylene in the laboratory. Jour. Chem. Soc., 1901, 79, p. 915
George Samuel Newth was also in his youth a keen cyclist and his name appears in a copy of a US cycle magazine 'The Wheelman' under 'Wheel News' on page 234 in 1883 when he was challenged to a race. "Mr. G. S. Newth, of New College, Hampstead,has accepted Mr.Wilson’s “Faed’s”challenge to riders of the “Otto” for a road race, in order to test the comparative speed of the “Otto” and the tricycle".
A detailed description of the race appeared in a New Zealand paper!
Otago Witness , Issue 1653, 28 July 1883, Page 20
"Appended is the description of an interesting race between an "Otto" bicycle, which has the two large wheels opposite each other, and a front-steering " Imperial Club ' tricycle, which resulted in a victory for the latter ;•— " A match to test the relative Bpeeds of tricycles and " Otto " safety bicycles was held on Thursday, May 17, on the road from Tally- Ho! Corner, Finchley, to Welwyn.and back to the Barnet Obelisk. Mr A. J. Wilson, captain of the North London Tricycling Club, rode a 48in " Imperial Club " tricycle, geared up to 57in— an ordinary roadster which he constantly uses over the London macadam and paving— and Mr G. S. Newth, of the Cyclists' Touring Club, bestrode a high • wheeled " Otto. Neither had trained for the event ; but of the pair Newth seemed to be most fit, Wilson suffering from a severe sore throat which had troubled him for some time previously. Half -past 5 was the time fixed for the start, and a few minutes after that hour Mr H. T. Whorlow, the starter and judge, gave the signal to go, and a slow start was made. Wilson at once dropping behind Newth, and leaving the latter to make the pace throughout. Up Barnet Hill the speed was rather fast, but from Ganwick Corner, to Bell Bat a quantity of loose stones reduced the pace: these passed, Newth increased' the speed greatly for a few miles, Wilson never attempting to go in front, except when flying hills, when the tricycle was at an advantage. The pair stopped by mutual conaent at the turning point at Welwyn, to take a little tea, and on the return journey the pace was slower, the wind having sprung up rather strong against the riders, who maintained their positions, Newth leading, with Wilson never more than three yards away, except when descending hills. At Potter's Bar a momentary pause for a drop of tea was made, and Newth again led until the stones were passed at the Duke of York, when Wilson went in front, and, riding rapidly away, increased his lead in the last mile, and bowled over the tape a minute and five seconds before Newth. The total times for the distance— about 30£ miles — were : Wilson, 2 hr. 31 mm. 30 sec. ; Newth, 2 hr. 32 mm. 35 sec. Mr C. H. Larrette (Bell's Life) and other members of the Press took the times ; Mr C. V. Boys being judge at the turning-point."
His wife was Margaret Newth and there is no record of any children. His name and address details can be had from UK Census records etc. Newth was a demonstrator in Chemistry at The Royal College of Science in London (now Imperial College) from the 1880s up to about 1910. He worked with other noted chemists including Frankland and W A Tilden. Newth's books are well worth buying and are a fascinating insight into late Victorian chemistry for schools and colleges and he was in many ways ahead of his time. George Samuel Newth died in Hythe, Kent, England in 1936.
