Abstract

THE news of the death of Sir John Eliot, K.C.I.E., F.R.S., in his sixty-ninth year, at his residence, Bon Porto, Cavalaire, Var, France, will be received with great regret by a very large circle of friends. His death was extremely sudden, and took place in the early morning of Wednesday, March 18. He was walking on a steep hill in his own grounds, superintending the work of his men, when he suddenly sat down and passed away. The cause of death is said to have been apoplexy.
