	Glaisher biography
		One of the main objects of [Glaisher and Coxwell's] ascents was to extend and improve our knowledge of the relation which exists between increase of elevation and the corresponding variations of temperature and moisture, these variations in their turn having an intimate bearing on the theoretic determination of atmospheric refraction.
		James was his parents eldest son, having one brother and one sister, and he attended St Paul's School in London, winning a scholarship in 1867 to study at Trinity College, Cambridge.
		The importance of Glaisher is less in the original research he did, much more in that he brought these mathematical topics into the Cambridge syllabus so setting it up to produce the outstanding English mathematicians who were educated there shortly afterwards.

		The main groups of objects are pottery, porcelain and glass, textiles, fans, furniture and lacquerwork; clocks and watches, domestic metalwork, including silver, pewter; jewellery and snuffboxes, armour and weapons, and sculpture in many different materials ranging from ancient Chinese jades to 20th century European bronzes.
		There are exceptional collections of English and Continental ceramics (9,780 items) largely due to the infectious enthusiasm of James Whitbread Lee Glaisher (d.1928) and, for glass, to Donald Beves (d.1961).
		There are smaller, but choice collections of European arms and armour (much of it bequeathed by J S Henderson in 1933); Limoges enamels, English and Continental silver, jewellery and objets de vertu; furniture (including notable English clocks given and bequeathed by J Prestige); textiles (especially samplers) and fans, mainly the Messel-Rosse collection.
