Abstract
BY the premature and sudden death, on Oct. 13, of Dr. H. R. H. Hall, the British Museum loses one of its most active and distinguished Keepers, and a large circle of colleagues and friends a genial, generous, and wholesome personality. Hall was born on Sept. 30, 1873, educated at Merchant Taylors' School and St. John's College, Oxford, and appointed to the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in 1896, during the long keepership of Sir E. Wallis Budge. He was promoted Assistant Keeper in 1919, and succeeded his old chief as Keeper in 1924.
