The late Mr. Albert Way, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. G. Evans, '..one of the most devoted and accomplished students of antiquarian learning..[He] was highly esteemed among the British and foreign archaeologists of our time..Mr. Way was employed from 1843 to 1846, as Director of the Society of Antiquaries, in compiling a catalogue of its museum and in other kindred labours. In 1844 he gave a new impetus to these studies by the formation of the Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. Its annual meetings in different provincial towns have for many years occupied a position in the archaeological world analogous to those of the British Association in the scientific world. Mr. Way's own services to archaeology were far beyond what might have been gathered from his published contributions, numerous and valuable as they were, to the current antiquarian periodicals, or from the laborious editions which he undertook of the works of others. Even after his ill-health compelled him to retire from his official connection with the Institute, he still freely lent to every competent inquirer the advantage of his extensive acquaintance with the subjects belonging to its range of discussions, and with the persons who knew them best'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
