1 882.] conclusion. 359 



I close the record of my father's life with a few words of 

 retrospect added to the manuscript of his ' Autobiography ' 

 in 1879 : — 



" As for myself, I believe that I have acted rightly in steadily 

 following and devoting my life to Science. I feel no remorse 

 from having committed any great sin, but have often and 

 often regretted that I have not done more direct good to my 

 fellow creatures." 



THE END.
