than any of his contemporaries .to foster and encourage a love 

 of natural science. The ' Zoologist,' alone, will ever remain a 

 monument of his indefatigable industry ; and, as a storehouse 

 of facts for the working naturalist, will be continually quoted in 

 all future works bearing on its special branches of English 

 Zoology." 



" We, his friends and admirers, have lost one whose equal we 

 may vainly seek, for he was a man of wonderful power of mind, 

 of great judgment, a profound thinker, an able writer ; and, 

 from his great experience in editorship, better qualified than 

 any of our naturalists for conducting a popular journal like the 

 ' Zoologist.' Ever ready to instruct and encourage, too, the 

 student of Nature ; never censorious or dictatorial, though his 

 patience at times must have been sorely tried." 



" The name of Edward Newman is inseparably associated 

 with the list of those who have themselves advanced natural 

 science, and who have done all in their power to help and 

 encourage others in the field in which they have so successfully 

 laboured." 



"He was esteemed and valued by all who knew him. His 

 life was usefully and honourably spent in the pursuit and 

 dissemination of knowledge ; and the results of his labours, 

 as published, are a more durable and honourable monument 

 than either bronze or marble."
