Eminent Living Geologists — G. W. Lmnplugh. 343 



by no means neglected the others, and, bringing to bear upon his 

 great knowledge of literature, on its humane as well as its scientific 

 side, a delicate perception and a nice and balanced judgment, he has 

 become no mean judge of style and method. But the style that he 

 appreciates must be the embroidery that accentuates worth and 

 beauty and not that which is intended to hide deficiencies in both. 

 It was no small triumph to have detected a new de Rougemont who 

 had for the second or third time thrown dust into the eyes of those 

 whose business it was to see clearly in matters of style. 



' ' Keen as is his evaluation of books, his knowledge of men is not less 

 well founded nor his judgment less sound. Having travelled far he 

 has made a wide circle of acquaintances of varied sympathies and 

 interests, and has met them under circumstances which favour close 

 intimacy. To discuss men with him is as entertaining as to discuss 

 books, for he has studied the man as well as his work, has seen the 

 weak spots as well as the strength, and has the faculty of expressing 

 his opinions with a slightly malicious but always good-natured 

 humour which gives them a delightful if subacid flavour. 



"If one might be allowed three more epithets they would be — as 

 a geologist, sound; as a man, human; as a friend, lovable.'''' 



Mr. Lamplugh's large knowledge and wide experience in our 

 science is always at the service of geologists who seek his kindly 

 help. He is without pretence and rather too retiring, but — as he is 

 only 59 — that may be remedied as he grows older and has longer 

 intercourse with his fellow-hammerers. "We offer him our sincerest 

 good wishes for his Presidency of the Geological Society, and he will 

 also carry our warm regard with him for the term of his natural life.
