Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. An interesting text containing an intriguing collection of scientific papers, this handsome Glasgow University prize volume was awarded in 1893 under the authority of Gulielmo (William) Jack, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Glasgow from 1879 to 1909. The presentation label is completed in manuscript for Carolus (Charles) Thomson, for the Class of 'Mathematica' (Mathematics), and is attested "Gulielmo Jack" in his own hand. Bound in an attractive contemporary full calf prize binding by Maclehose of Glasgow. One of a remarkable group of Glasgow University prize volumes awarded between 1889 and 1895 to Charles William Thomson (1871-.), a notably distinguished student who won fifteen University prizes and graduated M.A. Thomson subsequently pursued a prominent career in Scottish education, serving as Rector of several schools including Larkhall Academy, and was also an author and advocate of Scottish national interests. A founding member and later President of the Scottish Patriotic Association, he is best remembered for his substantial two-volume historical work Scotland's Work and Worth (1909-10). His identity and academic record have been confirmed from the matriculation, prize and General Council records held by the University of Glasgow Archives & Special Collections.
