Abstract
THE death occurred recently of the Rev. Charles James Ball, Rector of Bletchington, Oxford, at the age of seventy-three years. Although his work was known only to a comparatively limited circle, his knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and of the text of the Old Testament was unsurpassed, and he was one of the recognised authorities in Assyriology. His earlier years were spent as classical and Hebrew master at Merchant Taylors School, and after he had been presented to the living of Bletchington in 1899, he was for a time reader of Assyriology in the University of Oxford.
