At the present time the duties Of the coroner are chie?y to hold inquiry into the cause of death when there is any reason to doubt that death resulted from natural causes. When death results from natural causes, and under ordinary conditions, the medical attendant is bound, under a penalty of forty shillings, to certify as to the cause. The registrar of deaths accepts such a certificate when accompanied by oral testimony given by a person who was present at the time of death, and issues a certificate accordingly, authorising the interment of the deceased.

In 1881, the seventh year after my father's death, I began to collect the materials with which his biography, if thereafter required, might be constructed. He had died in his 59th year. Many who had known him in youth long survived him, and were, at the time to which I refer, readily accessible. His aunt, Mrs Glasscock, his senior by only thirteen years, was still living and could tell me of his childhood. His early friends, Davison and Macfarren, the one orally, the other in writing, recounted, with loving interest, their reminiscences of his student days. The extent of their aid, and of the aid given by others who have long since passed away, will, I hope, manifest itself in the following pages, wherein, I believe, the sources of these old memories are, in almost all cases, clearly shown.
