Mr. Moore, who came of an old Manx family, was born in 1853, and was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was bracketed first in the first class of the History Tripos. He also gained his "Blue" for Rugby football, and was an oarsman of some repute. He was elected to teh House of Keys in 1881, and retained his seat until the end of his career. In 1898 he succeeded the late Sir John Goldie-Taubman as Speaker, and served on various Manx Government boards, He took a prominent part in furthering the movement, still in progress, for reforming the Manx Constitution, and on several occasions defended the privileges of the House of Keys when he considered that they were assailed by the Governors of the island. He published several works on the climatology and meteorology of the Isle of Man, and was also the author of "The History of the Isle of Man," "Manx Surnames and Place Names," "Manx Folk-Lore," "Manx Ballads and Music," and other books concerning the island. In 1902, the King, while on a visit to the island, conferred upon him the Commandership of the Victorian Order.

Miss Jean Middlemass
The death is announce, at the age of 85, at her residence in Eaton-terrace, of Miss Mary Jane Middlemass, one of the most prolific writers of popular fiction of the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
It would be difficult to state exactly how many books she wrote but it is doubtful if she was exceeded even by Miss Braddon, to whose school she may be reckoned as belonging. When she began to publish in the 'seventies her work was promptly recognized as most suitable for the young person fir it combined abundant excitement and profundity of mystery with the strictest correctitude of morals. Even the worst of her characters is never guilty of any but the more reputable forms of villainy, such as murder and forgery, which would never bring a blush to the most innocent cheek. Though in her later years Miss Middlemass's popularity suffered a decline, she maintained a considerable vogue and continued to publish until 1910, when her last novel, "At the Alter Steps." appeared.
Among her most popular works are "Touch and Go" (1877), "Innocence at Play" (1880), "Sealed by a Kiss" (1880), "A Girl in a Thousand" (1885), "A Woman's Calvary" (1903), and "Count Reminy" (1905).

Bodley's Librarian Retirement of Mr. Madan
To-day Mr. Falconer Madan, M.A., F.S.A., Honorary Fellow of Brasenose, who has been Chief Librarian of the Bodleian Library since 1912, when he was appointed in succession to the late Mr. E. B. Nicholson, gives up his office on attaining his 68th birthday.
By the Founder's Statutes Bodley's Librarian should retire on reaching the age of 65, and but for the war this rule would doubtless have been followed; but Mr. Madan's tenure has been prolonged under an "emergency" enactment for three years beyond the normal term, greatly to the advantage of the Library and the University. His reign of seven years has been singularly useful, successful, and happy. Not a few would have like to see it further extended. but Mr. Madan has, it is understood not a little literary and bibliographical work of his own, especially his invaluable account of Oxford books and Oxford printing, which he needs time to complete, and is retiring by his own wish. Mr. Madan, too, is a fine classical scholar, and he may have thought, like Quintiliam "Honestissimum finem putabamus desinere dum desideraremur." His devotion to "Bodley" began when he was an undergraduate, and he had been only three years a Master of Arts when he was appointed sub-librarian 39 years ago, in succession to the late Mr. Ingram Bywater. He remained for over 30 years in the second place, but it will always be a satisfaction that he held the first, too, and stands in the illustrious succession and roll.
It is understood that the management of the Library will be carried on ad interim by Dr. A. E. Cowley, Fellow of Magdalen College, the senior sub-librarian.

Obituary Mr. W. J. Hardy, F.S.A.
Mr. William John Hardy, M.A., F.S.A., who died on Thursday, at Sidlesham, near Chichester, from heart failure, was an accomplished antiquary and a man of many interests. Mr. Hardy, who was born in London on September 29, 1857, was the younger son of Sir William Hardy, Deputy-Keeper of the Record Office, an archivist who specialized in the medieval manuscripts. Mr. Hardy followed in the footsteps of his father, for both were connected with the Historical Manuscripts Commission, but the son developed in other directions. Besides editing State Papers and "Documents Illistrative of English Church History" (in which he collaborated with the Rev. H. Gee), he was an authority on such diverse subjects as postage stamps and bookplates, on each of which he wrote an authoritative monograph, which is among the best of its kind; in that on postage stamps he collaborated with Mr. E. D. Bacon. He edited Middlesex and Hertfordshire Notes and Queries from 1895 to 1898, and the first five volumes of Home Counties Magazine, 1899 to 1904. He also wrote books on the handwriting of the Kings and queens of England and on lighthouses. Mr. Hardy was Hon. M.A. of Durham University, and had been a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, serving on the Council for a number of years.

Dr. J. B. Nias
By the death of Dr. Joseph Baldwin Nias on February 20 the medical profession loses one who approximated very closely to the type of the learned physician of the old school.
Born at Bath on December 13, 1857, Dr. Nias was the eldest son of Admiral Sir Joseph Nias K.C.B. He entered Exeter College, Oxford, in 1875, after spending five years at Winchester, and was elected to an open scholarship in science in 1876. He was placed in the first class in the final school of natural science in 1879, and afterwards proceeded to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. where he held the usual; offices and acted as house physician to Sir William Selby Church. In 1882 he was elected Burdett-Coutts scholar and Radcliffe Travelling Fellow at Oxford. On his return form the Continental tour enjoined by the statutes of the fellowship, he was admitted a Bachelor of Medicine in 1883 and a member of the Royal College of Physicians. Ten years afterwards he graduated M.D. at Oxford with a thesis "On Mastication in Young Children." He settled in practice in South Kensington, where he remained until his death.
A sound practitioner with a bias towards bacteriology, Nias will best be remembered by two pieces of work which are so thorough that they will not need to be done again. He compiled a report on the Greek Manuscripts contained in the library of the Medical Society of London, which was published in 1905, and in 1918 the Clarendon Press issued his sketch of the life of Dr. John Radcliffe. with an account of his Fellows and Foundations. The latter piece of work had occupied much of his spare time for many years, and it was a source of great satisfaction to him that he had lived to complete it.

The Death of Mr. Edward Manson
Mr. Registrar Francke in the Bankruptcy Court yesterday expressed regret at the death on Wednesday of Mr. Registrar Manson, suddenly, in his 70th year.
Mr. Francke referred to Mr. Manson's legal works and his joint editorship with Sir John Macdonell of the Journal of Comparative Legislation. In November, 1912, Mr. Manson was appointed a Registrar of the High Court (in Bankruptcy) for Companies Winding Up, and he constantly attended to his duties lately in spite of his being dreadfully crippled by disease. He (Mr. Francke) had personal recollections of Mr. Manson, extending over many year, as a charming and cultured companion and courteous gentleman.
