books in London, devoting himself to Greek literature and to minor 

 .academic duties until his death. 



Mr. Bywater's intellectual interests had a large range, his judgment 

 was penetrating, and his conversation is reported to have been filled 

 with humor and culture. He was indeed a great humanist in the best 

 sense of the word. His wide and accurate learning was distinguished 

 by a rare power of appreciation and discernment which could be fully 

 estimated only by the few; but it was recognized at its true worth 

 by scholars. He received honorary degrees from the Universities of 

 Dublin, Durham, Cambridge, and iVthens. He was a Fellow of the 

 British Academy, a Corresponding Member of the Royal Prussian 

 Academy of Sciences, and a Corresponding Member of the American 

 Academy of Arts and Sciences from 1894 to his death. His publica- 

 tions were few, but to use the judgment of another they were "the 

 few ounces of pure gold" which he extracted from base material. 

 His first publication of importance was an edition of the Fragments of 

 Heraclitus, 1877. In 1886 he edited Priscianus Lydus for the Berlin 

 Academy. In 1890 he published an edition of the text of Aristotle's 

 Ethics; this he followed in 1892 with an article on the textual criti- 

 cism of the same work; a critical edition of the text of Aristotle's 

 Poetics appeared in 1898 (second edition in 1911); and eleven years 

 later he published a new text with introduction, translation, and 

 commentary. The amount is small; but the work is permanent.
