Sir Joseph Prestwich, D.C.L., F.R.S

Abstract

THE most eminent of British geologists has just passed away, and those who last Saturday stood around his grave amid the chalk hills of his pleasant country home at Shoreham, near Sevenoaks, felt that they were paying a last tribute to a veteran who had outlived all the associates of his prime, who had completed all his earthly tasks, and had gone to rest full of honours, and revered by all who knew him.
