He was apprenticed , at the age of 14 , to
the then celebrated Dewix , of the Palais Royal , Paris , with whom he remained for five years . His brother having become chef at Cambridge House , Piccadilly , Alexis came over to see him , and was so pleased with England that he determined to remain . He then entered into the service of several noblemen , among whom were the Marquis of Ailsa , Lord Panmure , & c . He afterwards became the chef of the Reform Club , and his well-known dejeuner at Gwydyr House , Pall Mall , on the occasion of the queen ' s coronation , brought him prominently before the public . It was his offer , however , to the government in 1846 to feed the poor in Ireland that
made him popular in England , and in Ireland he wrote his " Cookery for the Poor . " In 1849 he produced his u House wife , " a work which has passed through fifty editions . In 1850 he left the Reform Club , and his dinners at Exeter and York soon after brought him into notice as a provider for public dinners . He was offered the refreshments ofthe Exhibition of 1851 , but declined the task , in order to carry out a gi'eafc idea of his own—the Symposium—by which undertaking he lost , from ill-management , £ 4 , 000 , all of which he paid . He then occupied himself with his various books and sauces , and left behind him a mass of MSS . which may
yet afford instruction to many now unborn . On the Crimean war breaking out , he placed himself at the disposal of the government , and his services were accepted . The good he did in the Crimea , in conjunction with Miss Nightingale , is wellknown to the public ; and since his return he has unceasingly endeavoured to ameliorate the condition of the soldier , not only in regard to his food , but in his manner of living . The excitement attending his efforts , together with the effects
of a Crimean fever , impaired his constitution , and thus suddenly brought his career to a termination . Beside the two works we have mentioned , Bro .

Soyer was initiated in the Bedford Lodge on the 3 rd December , 1845 , but never took any very active part in Masonry . Bro . Soyer was buried at Kensal Green on the 11 th instant .
