Abstract
SIR D'ARCY POWER, who died on May 18, at the age of eighty–five, was first and foremost a writer. This was his finest asset. He gave evidence of this talent early in life, for when he was at the Merchant Taylors' School he won the Tyler Prize for history, and about the same time the prize for the boy best suited for a merchant's office. From that time almost to his death he wrote, and when at the age of seventy–five his works were collected in a complimentary volume, the items numbered more than six hundred.
