he prepared for the press the first volume of Bonaparte's " Nat- 

 ural History of Birds Inhabiting the United States," though it 

 was afterwards revised by another. So fully was he occupied 

 with his own labors, and so freely did he devote his time to assist 

 others, that he prolonged his studies far into the night, even 

 during Summer until the breaking of day, thus sapping his life 

 for the benefit of science and his fellow-man. Even before he 

 left his native city he was much broken down in health, though 

 giving freely both of his time and means, when he had any, and 

 willing to do even more. Such was Thomas Say at the age of 

 thirty-eight, when he was induced by Messrs. Maclure and Owen 

 to accompany them to their confraternity of New Harmony. Of 

 his life and labors in Indiana during the remaining nine years of 

 his life I shall speak farther in a second paper.

 the names of these, and I take this opportunity to acknowledge
