Abstract
DR. E. E. FOURNIER DALBE began his contributions to scientific journalism by supplying abstracts of scientific publications to the Electrician in about 1893. These developed into a weekly column under the title Contemporary Electrical Science from 1897 until 1905. The Science Abstracts of the Physical Society began in 1895, and after forty years of such work the initials E.E.F.dA. appeared regularly until the number issued for last month. In April last he wrote: I live in retirement since a stroke six years ago deprived me of my right hand. Nevertheless, I am otherwise in perfect health, and typewrite my own letters and literary work... I amuse myself with photoelectric astronomy and riding about the country on an invalid motor tricycle.
