A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Tyndall, John

TYNDALL, John, LL.D., F.R.S. It is unnecessary in this Dictionary to say more about this eminent natural philosopher and lecturer than that he was born about 1820 at Leighlin Bridge, near Carlow, Ireland, that to a very varied education und experience in his native country and in England he added a course of study under Bunsen at Marburg and Magnus at Berlin; that he succeeded Faraday as Superintendent of the Royal Institution, London, and was President of the British Association at Belfast in 1874. His investigations into subjects connected with music are contained in a book entitled 'Sound,' published in 1867, and now in its 4th edition (1884). (See Times, Oct. 23, 1884; p. 10c.)
