He is one of the few brilliant mathematicians- . turned out from the Universities who have , achieved a position in public life. Mr. Flet•cher Moulton was not only senior wrangler v*of his year but he did what no other first ■ ■wrangler has done before or sincehe : doubled the marks of the second man. As a scientist he is sufficiently distinguished to be a member of the Royal Society. • His income at the Bar, where he is the first authority upon Patent Law, is said to approach r £20,000. It has been remarked of him that he makes that amount because his reputation . ; as a scientist stands so high that in cases in -which he is engaged expert witnesses dare ' ? not go into the box and say what is not true. ' Like all the Moultons, the member of Par- : liament has cultivated the habit of talking " without notes, and all his speeches in' Par: . liament, although models of good arrange- , went and easy fluency, are delivered without !'any aid ])U- Pf * t - ' •' - ' -. •-• '• v.V.'. . • •. • , i SsJfciVt ' - V ,v - -.v.
