Abstract

SIR WILLIAM CROOKES attained the age of eighty-six on Monday, June 17, and received the congratulations of many friends. He bears the burden of his years lightly, and is still actively engaged in research. This spirit of inquiry has been maintained throughout his life, and We trust that strength will be given to Sir William for some time yet to enable him to continue to satisfy it.
