These notices were all characterized by accuracy of detail and, for 

 the most part, sympathetic judgment and a generous acknowledgment 

 of merit. His last mouths were occupied in the congenial work of 

 collecting material for a history of the Academy. With much pains 

 and patience he had collected a mass of details from unexpected 

 sources regarding individuals long since dead and events almost 

 forgotten. No trouble was too great if it resulted in an addition to 

 knowledge or an increase of accuracy. It is related that on one 

 occasion he made a journey to Washington to verify a date, and the 

 amount of correspondence involved in his researches was such as to 

 discourage one not endowed with equal persistency or less enthusi- 

 astically devoted to the work. His manuscript notes are in the 

 possession of the Academy and will be of value to the future historian 

 of the society. 



He was confined to his house during the winters of 1894 and 1895
