Title
Chemistry set in a mahogany case, United Kingdom, 1900-1910
Description

All the equipment necessary to carry out a range of chemical experiments and research is contained in this set. The case includes test tubes, a measuring cylinder, filter papers and funnel, litmus paper, a pestle, a burette, and chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, egg albumen and copper sulphate.

This chemistry set was owned and used by Alexander Ninian Bruce, a Scottish physician and neurologist, who studied for his undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in Edinburgh from 1901 to 1911. A prize has been set up in his name at the Royal Society in Edinburgh for research in Medical or Veterinary Physiology, awarded to someone working in a Scottish Higher Education Institution.
