Excerpt from Greek and Roman Methods of Painting: Some Comments on the Statements Made by Pliny and Vitruvius About Wall and Panel Painting IF we investigate the technical processes of past ages we find that 'changes were very slowly introduced, and that a method of attaining the desired result, having been brought to perfection, remained unaltered from generation to generation. This conservative habit is peculiarly to be found associated with the artistic crafts, which even to-day, in spite of the discoveries of chemists and the introduction of machinery, have undergone little modification.

Mr. Laurie is entitled to speak with authority on all that pertains to pigments and their preparation, for not only is he well known in purely chemical circles as an able experimenter, but he has had practical experience of colour-making in his capacity of scientific adviser to the firm of Madderton & Co. In this excellent little book the author attempts to give to those who use paints some knowledge of the methods of preparation and the properties of the materials they work with. The experimental method is adopted, and by means of some very simple apparatus the student is taught how to investigate the permanency of a colour, and to perform experiments intended to make clear to him why, of two apparently similar pigments, one may be used in safety, while the other must in many cases be avoided. The chapters on “process” work deserve careful attention from those interested in the reproduction of diagrams, and the book should be in the hands of all artists who are anxious to hand on their creations with undiminished brilliancy for the admiration of future generations. —The Cambridge Review, Volume 17

Laurie was educated at Edinburgh Academy, the University of Edinburgh and then King"s College, Cambridge, where he took a first in science in 1884.
The pre-Raphaelite painter William Holman Hunt interested Laurie in the chemistry of paint and the scientific analysis of paintings. Laurie pioneered the use of chemical analysis to discover the composition of artworks, and so to show their true age and origins. He was the first to use infra-red photography to reveal deeper layers of paint.
Through infra-red work, he found the date of a Rembrandt self-portrait where the date painted by the artist had later been covered up.
In 1895 Laurie became a lecturer at Street Mary"s Hospital Medical School, and joined the Royal Commission on Secondary Education. In 1898 the Royal College of Physicians made him an examiner in chemistry.
In 1900, Laurie became the principal of Heriot-Watt College, Edinburgh. He held this position until 1928.
In 1912 Laurie became the professor of chemistry to the Royal Academy of Arts.
In 1929 he stood as a candidate for parliament at the General Election in the constituency of Edinburgh South for the Liberal party, finishing second. Laurie became a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (Review of Social Economy). In 1939 Laurie wrote the notorious.
A pro-Nazi, anti-semitic work which praises Hitler"s Germany.
His father was the educator Simon Somerville Laurie. He was the brother of zoologist Malcolm Laurie (1866-1932), both of whom were also fellows of the Review of Social Economy.
