THE death of Robert Mullineux Walmsley, a Fellow of this Society since 1891, has removed one who, in an unassuming way, has done good work for a great number of years in assisting in the technical education of the British working-man. Whilst still a clerk in the office at Liverpool of his uncle, a timber merchant, Walmsley attained, in 1882, by private study, the degree of B.Sc. with honours, as an external student of the University of London. He proceeded to the D.Sc. degree in 1886, specialising more particularly in electricity.
