R. Elliot was an English science writer.[1] BiographyElliot was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War in late 1899, he obtained a commission as second lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards on 17 February 1900, and served on the staff as signaling officer in South Africa from 18 June 1901.[2][1] He was back as a regular officer in his regiment from September 1902,[3] but resigned from the army later the same year.[4] His son Herbert Elliot was born June 3, 1909.[5] He identified as a scientific materialist and was highly critical of metaphysical speculation.[6][7] In his book Modern Science and the Illusions of Professor Bergson (1912), he attacked Henri Bergson's vitalist and non-scientific ideas.[8][9][10][11][12] Elliot expounded three principles of scientific materialism: the uniformity of law, the non-existence of teleology and the denial of any entity that cannot be expressed in terms of matter and motion.[7][13] H. P. Lovecraft was influenced by Elliot's materialism.[14] Elliot was honorary secretary of the Savile Club (1909-1917).[15] In 1914, he translated Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's Zoological Philosophy.[16] He was the editor of The Annual Register (1915-1920).[17] Elliot was an expert bridge player.[17] DeathElliot died in an aeroplane crash during an altitude test in Hampton on 6 May 1930.[1] An inquest concluded a verdict of "accidental death" and did not attribute negligence to his instructors.[18] PublicationsBooks
