Abstract
MR. EGBERT GRANT HOOPER was born at Bath on July 2, 1855, and died on September 17, 1935. As a pupil of Frankland at the Royal College of Science, he was a brilliant student and acquired that knowledge of chemistry which he used to such advantage in his later career. In 1878 Grant Hooper joined the Government Laboratory at Somerset House, and was transferred with it to its present quarters off the Strand. While in the Laboratory, he was engaged in food, drug, and water analysis, and assisted the late Dr. James Bell in his pioneer work on the analysis of foods.
