Abstract
BY the lamentable aeroplane accident which occurred at Hampton in Middlesex on May 6, an able and popular writer on scientific and philosophical subjects has been removed from our midst at the early age of forty-nine years. Mr. Hugh Samuel Roger Elliot was born on April 3, 1881. His father was the Hon. H. F. H. Elliot, son of the third Earl of Minto; and he himself was a cousin of the present earl. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge. But his career at Cambridge was cut short through the outbreak of the South African War in 1899, when he obtained a commission in the Coldstream Guards.
