Abstract
BY the death of Dr. Alfred Daniell in Edinburgh on January 12, there passed one who had made a distinct mark in the world of science. Born at Llanelly eighty-three years ago, he early showed a bent towards educational attainment. In consequence, while still a boy, he was sent north to pursue his studies in the University of Edinburgh. He had a distinguished course in arts, medicine and science, obtaining many successes and distinctions, particularly in science. For a time he was lecturer in the Medical School. He also worked under Prof, (afterwards Lord) Lister in the old Royal Infirmary, where he had charge of the Out-patient Department. He was the author of the well-known “Text Book of the Principles of Physics” published by Messrs. Mac-millan and Co. so long ago as 1884, and “Physics for Students of Medicine”. These publications were successful, especially the former, which was translated into various foreign languages.
