    Richard Anthony Proctor . —This celebrated astronomer died of yellow fever at Kew

    York a day or two ago . The Times obituary notice says : —Richard Anthony Proctor was born in

    Chelsea , March 23 , 1834 . His father , William Prbctor who was , called was a to gentlem the Bar an but of never ample practised -- means ---- . ,

    Proctor was a weak boy , physically , and was — educated at private schools . His father died

    in 1850 , and a protracted lawsuit so impoverished the family that in 1854 he entered

    the London Joint Stock Bank as a clerk . The family position , however , soon , improved , and

    Richard entered King ' s College , London , in 1855 and almost a year later _ King ' s College __

    wrangler — . In , I 860 he _— graduated B . A ~ It was only in 1863 that Mr . Proctor took to the

    serious study of mathematics and astronomy , as a distraction from grief at the death of his

    firstborn . His first production seems to have been a paper on double stars in the Cornhill

    Magazine for 1863 , and next year he began a series of investigations which ultimately were

    embodied in his first important work , ' Saturn and His System' ( 1805 ) . Up to 1866 Mr .

    Proctor worked simply because he liked it ; but the failure of OverendGurneyand Co .

    in that year deprived him of , his all and , compelled him to use his talent and knowledge

    to earn a living for himself and his growing family . Though his articles were readily

    accepted by magazines , he for some time found it difficult to persuade publishers to undertake

    with his works , unusual . But rapidity his popularit his name y soon soon grew became , and a

    familiar and favourite one with English readers all the world over . The works to which we

    have already referred now appeared in rapid succession — — — — - ^— ' - — * - — — : w — ' Constellation i ¦ i - ^ hh h v —^ v ~^ - ^^^ ~^ ar ^^ " «¦ ^» ^^^ ^ 4 » ^^^ — — ^^^ v Seasons - ^^^ - ^^^ ^ ^ p r *^ ^ t ^ ^^ ^^^ W ^^ W ^ H / ¦ * Sun i" ^ ^
