OBITUARY: JAMES WEST KNIGHTS 133 revived interest in “light ” treatment that Blunt’s work has received due recogni- tion. I t was my good fortune to join Blunt in his analytical work in 1912; this was the beginning of an association which was marked by Blunt’s unfailing willingness to share his knowledge and experience with a man many years his junior, and by a staunch friendship lasting until his death. He had many interests apart from his work; a keen and able field botanist, he was a vice-president of the Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club, acted as honorary curator of the botanical section of the Shrewsbury Museum, and as a judge of wild flowers at the Shrewsbury Show for half a century. An enthusiastic educationist , he served on the board of management for several schools.A love of the Classics, formed in his Oxford days, was retained throughout his life, and his ability as a Latin and Greek scholar was of no mean order. In his younger days he was a rowing man, being in his College crew, and he also served as a volunteer. Blunt combined exceptional charm of manner with a generous and kindly disposition; a scholar and a gentleman, he did much to establish the traditions and dignity of his profession, and his example is one which a younger generation of Public Analysts may well strive to emulate. HAROLD LOWE. JAMES WEST KNIGHTS. WE have recently had to mourn the loss of several of the oldest members of our Society, and the death of James West Knights, at the age of 75, has now added another to the list. James West Knights was the second son of Mr.James Knights, of St. Ives, Hunts. He was educated at St. Ives Grammar School and at Barton School, Wisbech. ,After leaving school he served an apprenticeship with a local druggist, and then came to London to undergo a course of training in analytical chemistry. His professional career began by his becoming chief analyst to a firm of chemical manufacturers in Flint, and shortly afterwards, at the early age of 25, he was appointed Public Analyst for the Borough and County of Cambridge, the Isle of Ely, the County of Hunts., and the Boroughs of Wisbech and King’s Lynn. These appointments he held until last year, when he retired, after 50 years’ service. For inany years he also acted as gas examiner to the Cambridge Corporation. West Knights joined our Society in 1878, and he contributed several papers to the early volumes of THE ANALYST, including a method for the estimation of nitrates in water (1882, 6, 56) and a description of the familiar form of extraction apparatus which bears his name (1886, 8, 65).For many years past he took no part in the work of the Society, and was therefore personally known to only a few of our members.

EDITOR.OBITUARY: JAMES WEST KNIGHTS 133 revived interest in “light ” treatment that Blunt’s work has received due recogni- tion. I t was my good fortune to join Blunt in his analytical work in 1912; this was the beginning of an association which was marked by Blunt’s unfailing willingness to share his knowledge and experience with a man many years his junior, and by a staunch friendship lasting until his death.He had many interests apart from his work; a keen and able field botanist, he was a vice-president of the Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club, acted as honorary curator of the botanical section of the Shrewsbury Museum, and as a judge of wild flowers at the Shrewsbury Show for half a century. An enthusiastic educationist , he served on the board of management for several schools. A love of the Classics, formed in his Oxford days, was retained throughout his life, and his ability as a Latin and Greek scholar was of no mean order. In his younger days he was a rowing man, being in his College crew, and he also served as a volunteer. Blunt combined exceptional charm of manner with a generous and kindly disposition; a scholar and a gentleman, he did much to establish the traditions and dignity of his profession, and his example is one which a younger generation of Public Analysts may well strive to emulate.HAROLD LOWE. JAMES WEST KNIGHTS. WE have recently had to mourn the loss of several of the oldest members of our Society, and the death of James West Knights, at the age of 75, has now added another to the list. James West Knights was the second son of Mr. James Knights, of St. Ives, Hunts. He was educated at St. Ives Grammar School and at Barton School, Wisbech. ,After leaving school he served an apprenticeship with a local druggist, and then came to London to undergo a course of training in analytical chemistry. His professional career began by his becoming chief analyst to a firm of chemical manufacturers in Flint, and shortly afterwards, at the early age of 25, he was appointed Public Analyst for the Borough and County of Cambridge, the Isle of Ely, the County of Hunts., and the Boroughs of Wisbech and King’s Lynn.
