Scottish chemist (1852-1916) who discovered the noble gases and won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. ALS signed “W. Ramsay,” one page, 5 x 8, University College, London letterhead, May 7, 1906. Letter to author William Henry Rideing, in full: "In reply to yours of March 23'd, I am sending you a short article on 'How discoveries are made.' I hope you will be able to substitute it for the one you returned. I am quite familiar with Faraday's candle; but things have advanced so far since his time that he would have had much more difficulty in making his candle business. I am sending the paper to your address here; it will reach you about as soon as it would have reached Boston." In very good to fine condition, with a tear to the lower left edge.
