EDWARD NEWMAN 
BORN May 13th, 1801. 
DIED June 12th, 1876. 
Ir is my sorrowful duty to record the death, after 
a short illness, 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 writings, 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 
‘Enromoxoaist ’ contains some of his numerous answers 
to correspondents. 
His labours are finished, and his earthly career of 
usefulness is completed; but his memory will remain 
bright in the minds of those who had the benefit of his 
friendship.
