Accordingly, some of his contemporaries wrote his career as the presenter to clear up the various questions that have arisen in his researches and to extend public knowledge of the subject. But some contemporaries wrote his career as the excellent expounder more than a pioneer in scientific subjects. Some wrote up that Tyndall has insisted on the value of scientific study as a discipline of the mind whenever there was an opportunity. But, especially after his address delivered before the British Association at Belfast in 1874, some passed strictures on his handling of subjects lying in the borderland between science and religion. Thus there were both sides in the evaluation on his career and achievements.  In this research, the following Biographies written by the contemporaries were examined. ・ “John Tyndall” in Portraits of Men of Eminence in Literature, Science, and Art, 1864, /“Professor Tyndall,” National Portrait Gallery, ac.1874 . ・ “Sketch of Professor Tyndall,” Popular Science Monthly, 1872. ・ “Scientific Worthies 4: John Tyndall,” Nature, 1874, /Hermann von Helmholtz, “Tyndall’s Relation to Popular Science,” Popular Science Monthly, 1874. ・ “Our Portrait Gallery, 2-36: Professor Tyndall,” Dublin University Magazine, 1877. ・ Edward Frankland , “Reminiscences of Tyndall”, / ”Tyndall: His Character and Work: A Chat with Professor J.
