Mr Sydney WILLIAMS, formerly of WILLIAMS AND NORGATE, publishers, died at Blackbrook, near Bickley, on Tuesday. “The Academy” of which he was for three years the publisher, says liberal studies in theology, philosophy and Orientalism have lost in Mr WILLIAMS a devoted supporter. He was born at Beeston, Notts, in 1817, and educated at Hamburg. As a publisher he brought out translations of the most important works of advanced German theology, in thirty volumes. Later, he was entrusted by the HIBBERT Trustees with the publication of the works written under their patronage, including the valuable series of HIBBERT lectures. He also published most of the works of Miss Frances Power COBBE. In philosophy he was Mr Herbert SPENCER’S publisher, and he also published the quarterly psychological journal “Mind”. His partnership with Mr Frederick NORGATE at 14 Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, terminated in 18964, when Mr NORGATE opened a house of his own in Bedford-street; and Mr WILLIAMS carried on the business alone at the old address. A branch office was opened in Edinburgh in 1855.
