Bight Rev. D. L. Lloyd, D.D.— Daniel Lewis Lloyd, son of John Lloyd of Penywern, Cardiganshire, was born in 1848, educated at Jesus College, Oxford, where he graduated (Second Class Lit. Hum.) in 1867, and in the same year was ordained and appointed headmaster of Dolgelly Grammar School and curate of the parish, where he remained for six years. In 1878 he accepted the headmastership of Friar's School, Bangor, which had been closed for many years for lack of pupils. A certain number of the boys at Dolgelly followed Mr. Lloyd to Bangor, and by degrees his teaching ability became apparent, several of the Friar's School boys distinguishing themselves at the University. In 1868 he was offered and accepted the headmastership of Christ's College, Brecon, where he found a larger field, and where his success as a schoolmaster became more generally recognised, and it was not long before he was attracting boys not only from different parts of Wales but from England also, but his chief merit lay in his thorough knowledge of his own countrymen, and in the possession of the methods by which they could be best stimulated to work.
On the death of Dr. Campbell in 1890, he was offered the Bishopric of Bangor, but the choice was challenged at the time on the ground that Mr. Lloyd had had no parochial experience, and that he was not in sympathy with the national aspirations of his countrymen.
On the other hand his lively interest in educational matters, and his earnest desire to raise the standard of scholar- ship throughout the Principality were recognised as qualifications which a Prime Minister could not ignore, and his unwillingness to take an active part in the fierce Church controversies of the period was far from being a bar to his usefulness as a bishop of a much divided diocese. His health, however, began to give way after a few years of office, and although he struggled against physical infirmities ana do- mestic troubles and sorrow, he was at length forced to retire from active work. Whilst presiding over a meeting at Holyhead early in 1898 he was struck down by paralysis, and all hope of recovery having been given up, he resigned his bishopric at the close of the year, and died on August 4 at Llanarth, a small village in Pembroke- shire, to which he had retired.
Sir Edward Frankland, K.O.B., D.C.L., F.B.B. — Edward Frankland was born at Churchtown, near Lancaster, in 1825, and was educated at the Lan- caster Grammar School. In 1844 he came to London and followed a course of chemistry at the School of Mines, and afterwards studied under Liebig at Giessen and Bunsen at Marburg, predeceasing the latter by just a week. From a very early age he devoted himself to analytical chemistry, and worked in this direction under Pro-
