Abstract
DR. JOHN NEVILLE KEYNES, who died at his home in Cambridge on November 15, at the age of ninety-seven, was born at Salisbury on August 31, 1852, to John keynes and his wife, Anna Maynard Neville. After studying at University College, London, he went up to Cambridge as a member of Pembroke College. He took the Moral Sciences Tripos, which at that time included political economy, and was Senior Moralist in 1875. In the following year he became Fellow of Pembroke. In 1882 he married Florence Ada, daughter of the Rev. John Brown. His wife, who survives him, has played a prominent part in the municipal life of Cambridge and has been mayor of the town. They had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, who became Baron Keynes of Tilton, was perhaps the ablest and most many-sided Englishman of our time ; and his death, in what should have been the prime of life, was a great loss to his country and to the science of economics.
