Addison, Thomas, M.D., 1793-1860, b. at Long Benton, near Newcastle, Eng., was educated at Newcastle Grammar-School and at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated M.D. in 1815. He went to London and became connected, first as student, then as lecturer and physician, with Guy's Hospital, where he acquired a high reputation as a clinical teacher and did more than any of his colleagues to establish the fame of the hospital as a medical school. He never obtained a large practice as a physician, but devoted himself to teaching and original investigation. His researches on pneumonia were much in advance of his time, but his chief claim to medical fame rests on his discovery of the rare disease known as "Addison's disease," which was announced in his Essay on Disease of the Supra-Renal Capsules. 1.

Whenever confronted with one of the great general problems to which oceanic researches necessarily lead, Prof. Agassiz displays a lack of lucidity, an inability to marshal facts in their logical sequence, which detract seriously from the scientific value of the work. Where, however, Prof Agassiz deals with his special subjects-as, for example, in the history of the West Indian Echinoidea-he is most instructive."-Ath., No. 3168.

"These volumes are an account not so much of a life as of a life-work, the story less of a person than of a mind; and the place of affairs, in which biography is usually immersed, is taken by facts and theories of science. . . The personal thread, however, vanishing and reappearing, runs like a golden strand through it all, though there is always a regret that it should be so slight. The story is one of those shining examples of plain living and high thinking which are like wells of pure water in a dry land. The enthusiasm which Agassiz always kindled in others is felt throughout the work as his saving force within; and the spirit which is preserved in these pages must always be a rousing and sustaining influence for the scientific life under its trials."-Nation, xli. 365. "This record of his life and work is distinguished no less by judgment and good taste than by fulness of scientific knowledge; while the simplicity and earnestness with which it is written lend it a peculiar charm and interest. It is neither redundant nor meagre: the scientific student (despite some modest words of doubt in the preface) will find the course of Agassiz's work sufficiently traced in it, while the general reader will be attracted by its lively portraiture of a generous character joined to a noble intellect."-Spectator, lviii. 1703.
