Obituaries, 1898. 'The late Dean [Henry George] Liddell...was Dean of Christ Church, and known to all the world of scholarship as the joint author of a Greek Lexicon; One of the leaders of ship-building enterprise has passed away in the person of Mr. John Laird, the head of the famous Birkenhead firm; Though best known as husband of Madame Adelina Patti, the late Signor Nicolini was himself at one time a singer of repute; and England was the scene of his first considerable success; the late Mr. George Dixon, M.P.... for the Edgbaston Division of Birmingham...[was] Chairman of the Birmingham School Board; the late Mr. Hermon Eugene Falk...was known as "the father of the salt trade"; the late M. Ernest Bazin...was a seaman of both theory and practice. He was an expert captain of merchant vessels, and he was also an inventor of note; the late Mr. Thomas Ashton...was a Lancashire cotton-spinner, whose munificence to local institutions, especially educational ones, has made his name widely known; the medical profession in Bristol has lost a most skilful surgeon in Mr. Augustus Prichard [Augustin Prichard]; the late Mr. C. Smith, who, as her Majesty's State coachman, had a responsible if not very arduous post'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
