Abstract
IN NATURE of December 1 there appears under the above heading an obituary notice of the late Mrs. Ayrton which, I regret to say, is in some matters incorrect and misleading. The article is an unusual one, for in it the writer ventilates his own grievances against his so-called “masters” (The City and Guilds Institute), and disparages and belittles the work and abilities of his lifelong colleagues. To write in this strain about dead friends is in my opinion reprehensible, and it is to be hoped the example will not be followed.
