James Sheridan jnr., being more suitable for an academic and research career than managing his father's business, toured Europe with tutors and studied chemistry first in Glasgow then at University College London under Professor Thomas Graham. He then went to work with Justus von Liebig at the University of Giessen, Germany. Muspratt conducted original research on sulphites and organic chemistry. In 1848 he founded the Liverpool College of Practical Chemistry. In the 1860 he completed the encyclopaedic 'Chemistry, Theoretical, Practical and Analytical as Applied to the Arts and Manufactures'. It was highly successful and was translated into several foreign languages including German and Russian.
