Abstract
ON Friday last, most unexpectedly and greatly to the grief of all his friends, died Prof. Fleeming Jenkin at Edinburgh, at the age of fifty-two. He had been in somewhat delicate health for a considerable time, but was, as usual, personally directing the engineering opera tions in connection with telpherage in London and Sussex, and seemed to have greatly gained in health and strength when he started for Edinburgh some days before his death. But blood-poisoning succeeded a slight surgical operation, and his death rapidly followed.
