Abstract

WE deeply regret to announce the death of Prof. Balfour Stewart, one of our most eminent men of science. Last Friday morning he left the Owens College, apparently in his usual health and in good spirits, intending to spend the holidays at his Irish home. He died on Sunday night. Next week we shall have something to say about his character and work.
