Plunket, Sir Alfred Pease, the late Sir William White, Sir 
Everard Im. Thurn, Colonel Hellard, the late C. E. Matthews, 
Dr. T. G. Bonney, F.R.S., late President of the British Associa¬ 
tion, Mr. Douglas Freshfield, now President of the Royal 
Geographical Society, the Bishop of Bristol, Dr. G. Forrest 
Browne, the last four all ex-Presidents of the Alpine Club, have 
been his guests, some of them more than once. He was a 
perfect host. 
He had served on the Councils of the Royal Geographical, 
the Geological, and Linnean Societies, had been Tyndall Lec¬ 
turer on volcanoes at the Royal Institution, and, as previously 
mentioned, a Vice-President of the British Association, at 
whose meetings he was a regular attendant. 
Tempest Anderson was, with reason, very popular in his 
native city of York, where he did much excellent work both 
professionally at the Ycrk Hospital (where, as mentioned 
before, he had a very wide reputation as an oculist) and 
informally in many ways. He was a magistrate and filled the 
office of Sheriff in 1894. Scientific and Archaeological Societies 
of all sorts found in him a hearty supporter. Town-planning 
was one of his many interests. The experience acquired during 
his travels (he was a very observant man) bore fruit in all sorts 
of ways. For instance, the York Waterworks, of which he was 
a Director, benefited largely by his visits to American water 
undertakings, and have become famous for their up-to-date 
arrangements. 
Tempest Anderson had a singularly lovable nature. He had 
a gift for forming and retaining friendships. Honest as the day 
himself, he accepted the good faith of those who differed from 
him, and never used hard words of them. Never extravagant 
in his expenditure on himself, he gave a liberal support to a 
large number of societies and institutions, whilst in private his 
charities were generous and manifold, and only very partially 
known even to his intimate friends. 
He will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends in the. 
Yorkshire Philosophical Society, in his native county and 
country, and in all of the many volcanic lands to which his 
zeal for investigation carried him.
