Fellow No. 00064

Mrs Hyacinth Dewar

Admitted July 1872 · F. (fr.)

Resigned in 1888 on the discovery that she had, in a Society publication of 1879, used "comprised of"; refused readmission for three years thereafter, on the same grounds, despite the Society's repeated offer to consider the matter closed.
