reference. In the Bibliotheca Canadensis, Celebrated Canadians 

 arid Types of Canadian Women, Dr. Morgan was a pioneer and, in 

 every case, a successful pioneer. 



Among the most important of Mr. Morgan's serial publications 

 were the Canadian Parliamentary Companion, established in 1862; 

 the Dominion Annual Register, started in 1878 and the Canadian 

 Legal Directory: a Guide to the Bench and Bar of the Dominion, 

 issued in 1878. A work of very real- interest entitled Canadian Life 

 in Town and Country was written by Dr. Morgan in collaboration 

 with Mr. L. J. Burpee, F.R.G.S. In 1865 Dr. Morgan edited the 

 speeches and addresses of the Hon. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, and in 

 the same year published a lecture on The Place that British Ameri- 

 cans have won in History. Dr. Morgan had hosts of friends, and 

 with him death did not sever the ties of friendship. How he com- 

 memorated Nicholas Flood Davin, Pierce Stevens Hamilton, Robert 

 Grant Haliburton, the Very Reverend /Eneas Macdonell Dawson, 

 V.G., and "others whom in life he had esteemed and loved some of his 

 colleagues are not likely to have forgotten.

Soon after graduating as M.D. in 1896, he was appointed De-

 ing year returned to Dublin as assistant to the King's Professor of 

 Institutes of Medicine (Physiology and Histology) at Trinity College 

 and the Royal College of Physicians, Dublin, remaining there until 

 1902, 'when he went over to the University of Marburg to undertake 

 work under Professor Meyer in pharmacology, the Marburg laboratory 

 at that period being one of the most active centres of original investiga- 

 tion in Europe. In 1903 he was appointed Demonstrator of Physi- 

 ology in the University of London, under Professor Waller, in con- 

 junction with whom he undertook several researches of first class 

 importance on Chloroform and other anassthethics. As those who
