9. Andreas Cassius, a German Physician from Hamburg, and his son in 1665 prepared a so-called gold purple by the interaction of auric chloride with stannous chloride, a fact which was mentioned in R. A. Zsigmondy's Nobel Lecture in Stockholm on December 11, 1926. Zsigmondy also recalled that Berzelius had made a detailed study of Purple of Cassius, which Berzelius regarded as a chemical compound. The lecture by Zsigmondy, whose studies on colored glass led him to the field of colloids, gives a fascinating account of how he struggled to understand the nature of colloids, and he specifically says "If I had known of Faraday's results, it would have saved me much unnecessary work. ... After Faraday's publication (of 1857) was available to me, I followed him and used phosphorus as the reducing agent."
