William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882). Educated at University College, London. In 1854 was appointed assayer at Sydney Mint and arrived in Sydney in October 1854. In addition to his professional work, he made detailed meteorological recordings, wrote several articles on the Australian climate and land and railway policy, and became interested in wet-plate photography. He returned to England in 1859 and soon established a lasting reputation as an economist and logician.
