Abstract
BORN in 1855, A. C. Haddon died at the age of eighty-five in 1940. He richly deserves this exquisitely written life-history. For he achieved a great work and he was endowed with a unique personality. In the selection of her abundant material, Mrs. Quiggin is to be congratulated on her wise judgment. She knew Haddon intimately from the year 1904 when she began to help him, not only in secretarial work, but also in “the concocting of syllabuses and lecture notes, the abstracting of papers, the making of lantern slides and the writing of minor reviews”.
