Report of the Council for 1902: Whether as a chief founder of physical chemistry in England, or as an unwearied educational reformer, the name of Dr. JOHN HALL GLADSTONE will long, be treasured by all who knew him. During his twenty years of membership of the Anthropological Institute, his interest in metallurgical problems made him at all times a valued contributor to its discussions, as well as to the Journal; and his investigations into the early history of copper and bronze, in Egypt and elsewhere, did much to throw light upon a very obscure corner of prehistoric archaeology.
