Abstract
IT is now more than forty years since Roberts-Austen was a familiar figure at scientific and technological gatherings. Born on March 3, 1843,in Kennington, his whole life coincided with a period of intense scientific and metallurgical activity, and, living as he did in the Metropolis, and for the greater part of that time at the Royal Mint (where he died on November 22, 1902), he had exceptional opportunities of participating in the proceedings of the numerous scientific and technical societies having their headquarters in London, and of being closely associated with those who were concerned with their various activities.
