Appleton

Appleton, CHARLES EDWARD, D.C.L., was born at Reading, 16th March 1841, and was educated at Oxford and in Germany. His reading was wide and varied, but he wrote little. He took a lively interest in the movement for the 'endowment of research,' and he founded in 1869 the Academy, whose special feature is its signed articles. He died at Luxor, in Upper Egypt, in 1879.
