Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 10: January December, 1893 From 1850 to 1865, Prof. Rupert Jones Edited the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, and, at the request of the Council, he undertook the editing of the latter half of vol. Xlvi. Left unfinished by the lamented death Of Mr. W. S. Dallas. Whether as Lecturer, Professor, Author, or Reviewer, Prof. T. Rupert Jones has always aimed at the advancement Of geological science, and although never enjoying a liberal emolument for his professional services, he has never lost his enthusiasm, but laboured on for more than forty years, and is still full of energy and love for that science to which he has devoted his Whole life. He has the satisfaction to know that although the pursuit of science is not so remunerative as other professions to which he might have turned his talents, he has nevertheless earned the warm esteem and regard of a very wide circle of friends and fellow-workers who admire his personal character and respect his worth.
