IN MEMORIAM NORMAN PENNEY The death of Norman Penney, LL.D., early in October, has taken from the Society of Friends a historian whose life of devotion to Quaker historical interests in the early period of the 144 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION Society can hardly be overpraised. His researches into the life of George Fox and his editing of the Journals, to name but one of his interests, can hardly be appreciated by the layman. One who has worked at Friends Library in London knows that his familiarity with the great mass of material deposited there enabled him to answer at once many obscure questions of the past. His passing is a sad loss to the Quaker historian of the future. The indexing and filing done by him and under his direction will be of great value to those who come after him. During a correspondence of some thirty years, his unfailing interest in our American Quaker history has been stimulating and encouraging, and his contributions to the Bulletin have been continuous in their service. There are those on this side of the Atlantic who will feel the death of this Quaker historian as a personal loss.

The author of the tribute prefers to remain anonymous. "There have been but two editors of the Bulletin in the twentyseven years since Isaac Sharpless started it on its successful career— Allen C. Thomas and Rayner W. Kelsey. The latter has now resigned after a service of fourteen years, and acknowledgment of his efforts to arouse and direct interest in Quaker things historical is but due to one who has given so generously of his time and strength. We hope that freedom from this minor but important...
