OBITUARIES, AMERICAN. (YOUNG ZELLER.) OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. (Auuorr.) 477 



Youmans was soon called to help him. The first 

 number of the magazine was issued in May, 1872, 

 and from that time until a year before his death 

 Dr. Youmans was actively asso- 

 ciated with its management. 

 After his brother's death, in 1887, 

 and indeed for several years pre- 

 viously, owing to the latter's 

 feeble health, the entire editorial 

 work was in his charge. His 

 chief literary work was done in 

 connection with this magazine, 

 which for many years was the 

 leading exponent of the evolution 

 philosophy of Herbert Spencer, 

 and at the time of its establish- 

 ment was practically the only 

 periodical in America which 

 would print evolutionary mate- 

 rial. It did an important work 

 in popularizing this and other sci- 

 entific theories, and was undoubt- 

 edly a powerful factor in bringing 

 about the present educational 

 awakening regarding the impor- 

 tance of scientific education. He 

 collaborated with Prof. Huxley in 

 the preparation of the latter's 

 Physiology for the American edi- 

 tion, edited a volume of biogra- 

 phies under the title Pioneers 

 of Science in America, and had 

 been a regular contributor of 

 scientific articles to this Cyclo- 

 paedia for many years. He was 

 a fellow of the American Asso- 

 ciation for the Advancement of 

 Science, and of the New York 

 Academy of Science, as well as 

 a member of many of the other 

 scientific bodies of the country. 

 He will be remembered by his 

 friends and associates for his de- 

 votion to the cause of scientific 

 education, his outspoken hatred 

 of shams of every kind, and his 

 unflinching faithfulness to his 

 ideals of scientific as well as practical mo- 

 rality.

 lyn, English scholar, born in 1843; died in 

 Malvern, England, Sept. 3, 1901. He was edu- 

 cated at Oxford, and gained a fellowship. Soon 

 after he took his degree paralysis of the lower 

 limbs rendered him an incurable invalid. He 

 was, however, active in his duties as college 

 tutor, and was greatly beloved by his pupils. He 

 mingled freely in the social and educational life 

 of his college, being wheeled on a couch to lecture- 

 room or dinner-party, and bore his great trial 

 with cheerful dignity. Besides translating from 

 the German Duncker's History of Antiquity 

 (1877-'82), as well as classical works for the use 

 of students of Greek, he edited the Hellenica
