suing either some especial line or even of obtaining a general bo- 
tanical education. To these he tendered the privileges of his 
library and collections, which had to be supported by himself 
alone, and opened to them not only all the material resources at 
his command, but unlocked for them all the treasures of his own 
experience, the results of the patient study of many years. 
Professor Eaton’s religious views were shown rather in the 
earnestness and simplicity of his life than by any profession of 
faith. Where he could not thoroughly understand and believe he 
was contented to hope, and his last months, even during intense 
suffering, were hopeful and peaceful, and he left this life calm in 
his trust in the good to come. He was a communicant of the 
Episcopal Church, and attendance upon divine worship was to 
him a pleasure and an inspiration rather than a duty. At his 
particular request, his funeral services were of the nature of simple 
religious consolation to his relatives and friends, with an entire ab- 
sence of official ceremony.

* The basis for the present list was taken from the “ Bibliographies of the present 
officers of Yale University,” edited by Prof. Irving Fisher (New Haven, 1893). The 
list of works there given was written out by Prof, Eaton. This has been followed 
the main, but the greater part of the references have been compared and some changes 
and additions made. The writer is very much indebted to Mrs. Eaton, to Mr. George 
F. Eaton and to Prof. W. H. Brewer for much help, both in connection with the de 
tails of the bibliography and of the sketch of the life of Prof. Eaton.
