The late Mr. Josiah Goodwin, 1890. 'The special department of journalism which deals with agricultural affairs has lost an old and experienced literary hand in Mr. Josiah Goodwin, who died at Bath on May 3, over seventy years of age. In early life he was a journalist in Devonshire; but in 1859 he was appointed editor of the "Journal of the Bath and West of England Society," to which society he was also appointed secretary in 1866. In 1863, when the Royal Agricultural Society lost its editor and secretary, Mr. Frere, Mr. Goodwin took temporary charge of the "Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society," bringing out two numbers, and also gave much assistance to the late Mr. H. M. Jenkins when that gentleman was appointed to the editorship. Mr. Goodwin resigned the secretaryship of the Bath and West of England Society a few years ago'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
