EDWARD NEWMAN 



BORN May 13th, 1801. 

 DIED June 12th, 1876. 



It is my sorrowful duty to record the death, after 

 a short ilhiess, of him who founded this Journal, and 

 has conducted it during the term of its existence. 

 Not only those who knew him personally, but that 

 wide circle who knew him as a correspondent or 

 through his waitings, will feel a shock that one so long 

 beloved has passed away, and will mourn him as a dear 

 friend. As ready as he was able to impart information 

 on every branch of Natural History, he will be regretted 

 by many who sought — and as certainly obtained as 

 sought — his kindly help. Even this number of the 

 ' Entomologist ' contains some of his numerous answers 

 to correspondents. 



His labours are finished, and his earthly career of 

 usefulness is completed ; but his memory w'ill remain 

 bright in the minds of those who had the benefit of his 

 friendship.
