Item description from seller

8vo. Pages: 73-125; 126-135; 135-139; 140-143. [Entire issue: 73-154 pp.] Original printed wrappers; some chipped, else very good. Four articles by Henry Edward Schunck on the chemical analysis of human urine. Schunck was a pioneer in the study of lecanorin (an old dyestuff), glycoside rubian (the precursor of alizarin in madder root), the colorless precursor of indigo, and chlorophyll. H.E. Schunck was the youngest son of a leading export shipping merchant of Manchester England where he carried on his chemical investigations in a private laboratory which he had built near his residence. This laboratory housed a fine library and large collections. In 1895 Schunck presented £20,000 to Owens College, Manchester for the endowment of chemical research. By his will he bequeathed to Owens College, in trust, the contents of his laboratory (together with the building) which constitutes, with the previous endowment, the Schunck research laboratory at the Victoria University of Manchester. DNB, 1901-1911, pp. 274-275; DSB, XII, pp. 236-237.
