Llewellyn Jones was born in Castletown, Isle of Man, shortly after publication of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species." The actual year was 1884, but, vide Einstein, that is unimportant, for the Isle of Man has its own time, which, in intellectual matters, is quite a few years behind European time. Hence, until at a comparatively late period of childhood he learned to read, he was brought up in a pre-Darwinian universe. Before coming to the U.S. Llewellyn Jones had stopped a course of education which was designed to make him, a science teacher in the English board schools, he found mathematics too much for him-and had gone to work on a newspaper.
