 Rev. Richard Dawes, Dean of Hereford," 1867, and 

 *• Memoirs of the Life and Scientific Researches of John 

 Dalton," issued by the Cavendish Society in 1854. Dr. 

 Henry was one of Dalton's most intimate friends, and to 

 him the philosopher bequeathed his scientific remains, sub- 

 sequently presented to the Manchester Literary and Philo- 

 sophical Society by Dr. Henry. Dr. Henry acted as Dr. 

 Dalton's literary executor. He was elected a Fellow of the 

 Royal Society in 1834. He was also a Fellow of the 

 Geological and Chemical Societies, a corresponding member 

 of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Turin, and a magis- 

 trate for Herefordshire. Dr. Henry left Manchester about 

 half a century ago, and has since lived at Ledbury. He 

 married, in 1832, Margaret, daughter of Mr. Thomas Allan, 

 F.R.S., a distinguished mineralogist. He had two sons. 

 Mrs. Henry died early in 1890, after a married life of 

 almost 58 years. Dr. Henry himself died at his resi- 

 dence, Haffield, Ledbury, of influenza, on January 7th, 

 1892. To our Memoirs he contributed a paper on 

 the " Life and Writings " of his father, read before 

 the Society in 1837 (Vol. VI., Second Series), and a 

 biographical notice of Peter Ewart (Vol. VII., Second 

 Series). He was prominently associated with the movement 

 in 1837 for providing Manchester with the white marble 

 statue of Dalton, by Chantrey, and was the last surviving 

 trustee of the statue. He was a liberal donor to the Society's 

 centenary fund, out of which the house in 36, George 

 Street was extended, and also a liberal subscriber to the 

 fund for the white marble statue of Joule now being 

 executed by Mr. Alfred Gilbert, A.R.A.
