William Taylor died on 27 February, 1937, at the age of 71 years. He was born at Hackney in London on 11 June, 1865, the second son of Richard Taylor (for many years with I. & R. Morley, the Hosiery Manufacturers of Wood Street) and Marian ( nee Smithies), of York. H e and his brother were mechanics from childhood. At the village blacksmith’s shop and from the local wheelwright they learnt these crafts by actually practising them , and with a small lathe made by themselves they learnt the elements of turning. From Sir David Brewster’s articles in the Edinburgh Encyclopaedia they obtained their first knowledge of science, broadened at Gowper Street School, Finsbury, under Dr. Richard Wormald. Dr. Wormald, a Leicester m an, was undoubtedly a pioneer in the teaching of science to boys. The school even possessed workshops, and in them the lads learnt wood and m etal turning under a highly skilled turner (a Master of the Worshipful Company of Turners) and joinery and cabinet making under an ex-naval carpenter. In these workshops the lads made a pair of the first telephones ever made in England and one of the first copies of Edison’s Tinfoil Phonograph, whilst at home they each made a lathe. Their workshop at home was an attic, and the noise of their operations becoming a nuisance in the house, they built themselves a workshop outside with concrete walls. William Taylor’s brother, being the elder, left school first, and William Taylor then became a demonstrator at Dr. Wormald’s lectures on physics.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124451479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such has been the happy fortune of New Zealand, which to-day justly claims Rutherford as her greatest son. New Zealand was sighted by Tasman and visited by Captain Cook, F.R.S., who stayed long enough to bequeath the flea, the black rat and the pig to the Maoris. The country received its first white settlers in 1817, but the main colonization followed about 1840— less than a hundred years ago! Among the early settlers was one of the Rutherfords, for the most part Scots and a virile border-folk. His son James, and Martha his wife, another New Zealand settler from Sussex, had four sons and eight daughters. Ernest, the second son and fourth child, was born on 30 August, 1871, near Nelson, at Brightwater, and there he went to the State primary school, whence he obtained a scholarship to the Nelson School. About this time his father had moved to Pungarehu, Taranika Province, where he had a flax farm and mill and a rope walk. Rutherford is reported on good authority to have been a normal, happy, unassuming boy, but with unusual powers of concentration — the secret of his success in life. He shot pheasants and wild pigeons, played forward at Rugby football, caught eels and brook trout, nearly drowned himself bathing, took clocks to pieces, made water wheels (like Newton), photographed, loved reading and music; he also won prizes and scholarships for English, History, French, and Latin. He was greatly helped by a good schoolmaster, W . S. Littlejohn, who taught him sound mathematics, and, in a very small class, chemistry and physics.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127013013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
