Abstract
WE regret to record the death of Miss Jane Ellen Harrison, which took place in London on April 16, at the age of seventy-seven years. She was born in East Yorkshire on Sept. 9, 1850. At an early age she showed a special aptitude for languages, which she maintained until the end of her life. Before she entered Cheltenham Ladies' College at the age of fifteen, she had already acquired a knowledge of Latin, Greek, German, and Hebrew; while after she had attained the age of seventy, she made herself acquainted with the elements of Persian.
