The Sphere, October 2, 1920
The Late Mr. Henry Bassett

We greatly regret that by an inadvertence we published a portrait of Mr. Henry Bassett, Professor of Chemistry at University College, Reading, instead of that of his father, Mr. Henry Bassett, a well-known consulting chemist, who died on September 2 at the age of eighty-three. We much deplore that this circumstance has caused a great deal of pain to the family of Professor Henry Bassett to whom and to whose family we offer every apology. Mr. Bassett was very well known as a consulting chemist, specializing in non-ferrous alloy and anthracene work. He published some valuable papers and notes, mainly in The Journal of the Chemical Society and in The Chemical News, in addition to which he carried out much research work.
