We regret to record the death last•week of Mr. Ernest

Myers, the distinguished scholar and poet, at the age of• seventy-seven. He did much for Greek studies by his lectures and by his versions of Pindar and, in collaboration with Mr. Lang and Mr. Leaf, of the "Iliad." His own poems, like those of his elder brother, Frederic Myers, blended classical themes with native melody and grace. Mr. Myers took no active part in public affairs, but his services to philanthropic agencies like the Charity Organi- zation Society were of great value. He was an old and valued correspondent of the Spectator.
