Abstract
THE death occurred on September 27 of DR. D. LLOYD ROBERTS at the age of eighty-four years. Dr. Lloyd Roberts was born in 1835 at Stockport, and received his medical education at the old Manchester Royal School of Medicine, and afterwards in the hospitals of London arid Paris. In 1857 he obtained the diplomas of M.R.C.S. (Eng.) and L.S.A.; two years later he received the degree of M.D. from the University of St. Andrews, and became F.R.C.P. (Lond.) in 1878. During this period he was appointed honorary physician to St. Mary's Hospital for Women and Children, a post which he retained until his death. In 1902 Dr. Lloyd Roberts was president of the section of obstetrics of the British Medical Association, and he was also a member of numerous other medical societies. He contributed many papers to medical journals, and as early as 1876 published “The Practice of Midwifery,” the fourth edition of which was issued in 1896. In other spheres he will be remembered as the editor of Sir Thomas Browne's “Religio Medici,” first published in 1892, and for a short pamphlet read in 1914 before the Dante Society of Manchester on “The Scientific Knowledge of Dante.”
