Abstract
DR. EDWARD EMANUEL KLEIN, a pioneer in histological and bacteriological research, was born at Ersek in Hungary on October 31, 1844, and studied at Vienna, where he devoted himself to microscopic anatomy. In 1869 he came to England and served at first as histological assistant to Burdon Sanderson, but afterwards devoted himself entirely to bacteriology, of which he was the first representative in England. He was lecturer in histology and later of bacteriology at St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School, where Ronald Ross was one of his pupils. He was the author of "The Anatomy of the Lymphatic System"(1873–75), "Atlas of Histology" with Mr. Lobb Smith (1879–80), "Elements of Histology" in collaboration with J. G. Edkins (1883), "Microorganisms and Disease" (1884), "Asiatic Cholera" (1884) and "Oriental Plague" (1906). He was also collaborator in a "Handbook for the Physiological Laboratory" (1873). He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1875. He died at Hove on February 9, 1925.
