THOMAS EDWARD BUCKLEY. 



IN MEMORIAM. 

 By J. A. HARVIE-BROWN. 



IT is with feelings of unusual poignancy of sorrow that we 

 record a great blank in our happinesses, friendships, and asso- 

 ciations in the death of our friend Mr. T. E. Buckley, at Rossal, 

 Inverness, after prolonged illness and suffering, on the 4th of 

 November 1902. Mr. Buckley never appeared to have re- 

 gained his previous good health since he was first seized by a 

 virulent attack of influenza in March 1 900, nor did he ever 

 really rally after he received the culminating attack on the 

 4th of June 1902. 



Mr. Buckley was born on the 3rd of April 1846, and was 

 the son of the Rev. Thomas Buckley, rector of St. Thomas, Old 

 Trafford, known later as " The Church of the Two Asylums," 

 and Elizabeth Akroyd, his wife. He was educated at Rugby 

 and by private tuition, and, spending his youth and part 

 of his early manhood at his native place Old Trafford, 

 near Manchester, and at Beverley, Yorkshire till 1869, 

 he afterwards passed a full curriculum at the University of 

 Cambridge, where he took his degree of Bachelor of Arts 

 about 1867 or 1868. He visited Scotland for the first time 

 :! 1869 as the guest of Mr. Donald Charles Cameron, of 

 Glenbrittle, Skye.
