Abstract
HENRY NEWELL MARTIN was born on July 1, 1848, at Newry, Co. Down, Ireland. He was the eldest of a family of twelve, his father being at the time a Congregational minister, but afterwards becoming a schoolmaster. Both his parents were Irish, his father coming from South Ireland, and his mother from North Ireland. He received his early education chiefly at home; for though he went to several schools, his stay was not long at any one of them.
