MANSILL RICHARD, was born in England, Aug. 15, 1828; came to this Co. in 1848, and has been principally engaged in the coal trade ever since; but having an investigating mind, he turned his atten- tion to science, in which he has been a faithful student for the last 25 years. The study of Planetary Meteorology has en- gaged much of his time, and his familiari- ty with the subject, and the correctness of his predictions, show that he is truly en- titled to be called a planetary scholar. He has written several works, which although new in theory, have elicited much atten- tion from the scholars and press of our country. Mr. Mansill has made several trips to Europe, one in 1857, to visit friends in his native country. His second visit was in 1867. to attend the Paris Exposi- tion, and to make inquiries in regard to science. On his third visit, from the spring of 1870 to the autumn of 1871, he spent much of his time in scientific ex- periments. While there, he constructed his original chart on Planetary Meteorol- ogy, which he has matured into his present one, that may be found in Mansill's Alma- nac of Planetary Meteorology, which all should examine. He is thoroughly ac- quainted with his subjects, and can readily communicate them to others ; has one son, Thomas, born Oct. 9, 1852; wife died Nov. 16, 1860.
