Abstract
ALFRED BARNARD BASSET was born on July 25, 1854. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and graduated in 1877 as 13th wrangler, a position which could scarcely have represented his real mathematical attainments. He was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1879, but not being under the necessity of adopting a profession, he soon abandoned the law, and, apart from the duties of his private station, devoted himself mainly to mathematical research.
