anatomy and physiology, his first and greatest objects ; 

 and succeeded so well, that, in 1826, he was called to 

 Rutgers' College, in the city of New York, as an asso- 

 ciate of Mott and Hosack. 



In 1824 he was made one of the editors, (a working 

 editor,) of the Philadelphia Journal of the Medical 

 Sciences : and continued a liberal contributor to that 

 respectable periodical, to the last weeks of his life. 



At different times he published a number of interesting 

 and eloquent introductory lectures. 



He was the writer of several elaborate analytical and 

 critical reviews, in the American Quarterly. 



At the present time, actual discoveries in anatomy are 

 no more to be expected, yet Dr. G., with admirable skill, 

 revealed many new connections and relations of certain 

 parts, and described them in a volume which he entitled 

 Anatomical Investigations. 



He translated and published from the Latin, French, 

 and German languages, a variety of papers and distinct 

 treatises ; several of them on subjects not professional, as 

 for example, Lavasseur's Narrative of La Fayette's Visit 

 to the United States. 



He wrote critical and emendatory notes on several im- 

 portant English and continental works, which the book- 

 sellers of this country were about to publish. 



The article of Natural History, in the Encyclopedia 

 Americana, was exclusively confided to him, and his 

 labours upon it ended only with his life.
