LIXXEAN SOCIETY OF LOXDOX. 49 



Ward Eichardson, Sir James Crichton-Browne, aud many other 

 scientific people ot" the numerous learned Societies, who preferred 

 him as an engraver because of the knowledge he possessed of the 

 subjects he had to work upon. 



" Taken altogether Terrier became one of the most remarkable 

 men who had their beginning as pupils in our Studio." 



(From " Fifty Years' Work : Our Pupils," p. 349 ; by Dalziel 

 Brothers.) 



His one cause for their respect was his extreme conscientiousness, 

 as witness the following may be cited : a question of time arose, 

 one of the Brotliers turned to the housekeeper, enquiring " Is the 

 clock right ? " " Yes " was the reply, " 1 set it when Mr. Ferrier 

 arrived." " Then that's near enough I " showed that the partner 

 concurred. The paragraph above referred to was his greatest 

 pride. He was an active member, ou the literary side, at 

 Eegenl's Square Presbyterian Church, where he incurred much 

 obloquy for his audacity in preferring Shakespere before Biu-ns, 

 and advocating teetotalism, which in the fifties was less understood 

 than it is in the present day. 



His early work included zoological specimens drawn by 

 T. W. Wood, for ' Beeton's Boys' Own Magazine,' which (speaking 

 open to correction) he continued to the end of the series; 'Land 

 & Water,' the ' Leisure Hour,' and other Xatural History 

 publications. He became known to the Geological Society, for 

 which he did much work in his own careful and painstaking way. 

 The whole secret of his pleasing was — to use his own uords — that 

 " he kept the drawing of the artist " instead of altering it according 

 to fancy or accident. 



This faculty-, engendered of conscientiousness and artistic 

 appreciation of the subject, won him his good name ; by treating 

 the subject sympathetically it pleased both the draughtsuian and the 

 authors, — who wanted the picture to be what they had approved 

 as a drawing. The advantage of this power was greatly felt and 

 appreciated when he was producing anatomical subjects under 

 Dr. Murie, who then was at the Zoological (xardeus, when it was 

 important to distinguish between hair, tissue, bone, and muscle. 



From this point he became known to the Linnean Soci«ty and 

 was elected Fellow, loth June, 18S2. 



The love of his art, and the rapid growth of process-work, 

 caused unspeakable soi*row to him in his later days. He mourned 

 that a process almost purely mechanical should supersede an art 

 which he had studied for 50 years and of which he still had much 

 to learn. [K. M. Feriiiee.] 



Dr. Edwaed Alfeed Heath, born June 22nd, 1S39, at Totnes 

 in Devon, was educated at Taunton, and was engaged in the practice 

 of Homoeopathic pharmacy, first at Torquay, and subsequently on 

 his own account at Taunton, remo^■ing to London in 1864, where 

 he practised in Ebury Street, Eatou Square, until December 1904, 

 when he moved to Shoreham, Kent. He obtained his degree as
