Summary "The Right Honourable Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe P.C., D.C.L., F.R.S." by T. E. Thorpe is a biographical sketch written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and significant contributions of Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe, a notable figure in the field of chemistry and education. It highlights his pioneering role in establishing Owens College, his involvement with the Royal Institution, and his efforts to advance scientific inquiry and education in Britain. The opening of the biography introduces William Roscoe, Henry’s grandfather, who played an impactful role in Liverpool's intellectual and cultural life. Thorpe outlines how William was a man of humble beginnings but rose to prominence through his literary and civic engagements, such as his opposition to the slave trade. The text then transitions into the life of Henry Enfield Roscoe, detailing his birth, education, and the familial influences that shaped his academic pursuits and character. This foundational understanding sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Roscoe's achievements in science and education as the biography progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
