State, he passed the remainder of his life at West Lebanon, in literary- 

 pursuits and in the occasional discharge of the duties of the clerical 

 profession. His colleagues at Dartmouth College speak of him as hav- 

 ing been an admirable instructor, of rare courtesy and kindness, a dis- 

 criminating and suggestive critic, with sufficient knowledge and an unu- 

 sual power of expression. In 1846 he published a volume of Addresses 

 and Miscellaneous Writings, marked by the completeness, the simplicity 

 of style, the good sense, and the pure taste which characterized all his 

 literary productions. His more recent writings, notes of foreign travel, 

 lectures, and discourses, he had begun to prepare for the press, and 

 some of them may yet be published. 



Professor Haddock was as urbane and courteous as he was accom- 

 plished. He never obtruded himself upon public notice, but it was im- 

 possible that he should remain unregarded in whatever community he 

 might reside. One of his maxims, *' Do well and wait," he so exemplified 

 in his life, that his friends sometimes wished he were less moderate 

 in his desires, and more strenuous in literary activity. In his position 

 as Minister to Portugal, not indeed one of great responsibility, yet im- 

 portant, he so performed its duties as to make one feel that, if they had 

 been far more delicate and onerous, he would have been quite equal to 

 them.

Friedrich Tiedemann died at the age of eighty years, having been 

 born in Cassel in 1781. His father was distinguished as a Professor of 

 Philosophy at Marburg, where the son was graduated in 1804, remain- 

 ing there as a privat-docent until the following year, when he was 

 appointed Professor of Anatomy and Zoology at Landshut. In 1816 

 he was chosen to fill the Professorship of Physiology at Heidelberg, 

 where he remained until 1849, enjoying a distinguished reputation 

 throughout Europe, both for his fidelity as a teacher, and for the mer- 

 its of his anatomical and physiological investigations. During the po- 

 litical disturbances of 1849, his son, commandant of the fortress at Karl- 

 stadt, was shot on account of his sympathies and co-operation with the 

 popular movement, when the father refused any longer to hold an office 

 in the gift of the government. Since then he has lived in retirement, 

 and died in IMunich, at the residence of his son-in-law, Bischoff, so dis- 

 tinguished for his embryological investigations.
