Abstract
MR. H. E HADLEY, well known as the author of many elementary text-books of physics, died on March 6, at the age of eighty-two. Mr. Hadley had lived rather a retired life. He was appointed headmaster of a small science school in Kidderminster, where he combined with physics a lectureship in chemistry. In those days, physics was considered of less importance than chemistry ; but Mr. Hadley was always at heart a physicist. In spite of the almost total lack of physical apparatus, he made physics the career of three of his early pupils, for in three successive years his students gained national scholarships at the Royal College of Science, London, now the Imperial College of Science and Technology, a rather unique success for a small school.
