H'l STRIVING AFTER PERFECTION. 



improvement to improvement, and regarding each achieve- 

 ment as but a stepping-stone to others, the fertile brain of a 

 true scientist never rests. Although Dr. Richardson informs 

 us that " since these excellent ventilators have been intro- 

 duced, we have now got perfect methods of ventilation," we 

 have reason to anticipate some startling discoveries as the 

 results of Mr. Boyle's ceaseless experiments and strivings 

 after perfection. 



No apology is necessary for these commendations. Pro- 

 fessional success of no ordinary kind, and public work carried 

 out with remarkable ingenuity and thoroughness, justify 

 us in setting forth this young man as an example worthy 

 of note. Bejbter than all the platform platitudes of sanitary 

 reformers is the actual work accomplished. He has worthily 

 followed in the footsteps and carried on the unfinished 

 labours of his distinguished father, and we regard with lively 

 hope the prospect of a life begun so well, and devoted with 

 such singleness of purpose to the public weal.
