We greatly regret to record the death of Mr. E.

D. Stone, the well-known schoolmaster, classical scholar, and poet. His letters and poems were for years familiar in our columns. To him Latin was the most living of languages. He turned Latin verses, not merely with masterly deftness, but with genuine feeling and eloquence. The pupils whom he taught to emulate his skill in Latin verse, and to love English literature, could scarcely be numbered.
