Abstract
THE Brooklyn Museum Quarterly of July includes an obituary notice of Prof. William Henry Goodyear, best known by his work entitled “The Grammar of the Lotus,” who died in February last aged seventy-seven. The theory developed in this book was conceived during his studies of lotiform decorations in Cypriote art, and included a study of the lotus in the decorations on peat from early Egyptian times. In his work as an architect his discoveries of architectural refinements will prove most important. His published work is extensive and valuable, and is fully recorded in the sketch of his career by Mr. W. S. Conrow.
