The death of Dr. J. K. Mozley will be very
widely deplored, especi- ally by readers of this journal, to which he frequently contributed reviews of theological books conspicuous for their depth of know-
ledge, liberality of outlook and—not least—their ease and clarity of style ; the last of them, I believe, appears on another page today. It was a serious loss to London when, after his wife's death in 1941, he resigned his Canonry at St. Paul's, though he retained his Reader- ship at Lincoln's Inn for three years longer. He was a scholar of the first rank, and his friends were disappointed that he never received a University Chair, but the poor health from which he suffered throughout life had something to do with that. I had known him since we were freshmen at Cambridge together. Mozley was a robust Liberal speaker at the Union, where he succeeded Maynard Keynes as President in 5905.
