Abstract
FOLLOWING the death of the Earl of Balfour, F.R.S., Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, which occurred on Mar. 19 last, an obituary notice by his kinsman, Lord Rayleigh, was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. This memoir was limited to an account of Lord Balfour's early history and mental development, his scientific and philosophical thought, and his administrative work for scientific, industrial, and medical research. Quite justifiably it was soon realised that, beyond strictly scientific circles, there was an interested public desirous of knowing about those very matters detailed therein, their kind and substance. Accordingly, the memoir has been republished, with a photograph as frontispiece.
