THORPE THOMAS EDWARD: (1845-1925) British chemist who served as Chief Chemist to the British Government (1894-1909) as Director of the Government Laboratory. An interesting A.L.S., T. E. Thorpe, three pages, 8vo, South Kensington, London, 28th January 1910, to Dr. Kurt Loewenfeld, on the printed stationery of the Imperial College of Science and Technology. Thorpe writes, in part, 'Such material as I had respecting the invention of the Safety Lamp - & more particularly as to the share of Stephenson - was lent to me by friends connected with the Philosophical Society of Newcastle on Tyne & was returned by me to them on the completion of the little work to which you refer. As regards the merits of Stephenson's claims I venture to think……that my conclusion as to the apportionment of the relative merits of the two men is just & can be fully substantiated. I do not know that anything fresh can be said about that matter'. VG
