 Chester County, Pa., May 13, 1837. lie was 

 graduated at Vale in 18.'')8 and at the .letl'erson 

 Medical ("ollege in 1801, after which he spent a 

 year iu Eurojie in study .and in ti'avel. On his 

 return ho entered the army, in .\ugnst, 1862. a.s 

 acting assistant surgeon. In February of the 

 following year he was commissioned surgeon 

 and served as snrgeoninchief of the second 

 ili vision, eleventli corps. He was present at the 

 batth's of (Muincellorsville. Cet tx sburg, and 

 other- engageiueuls, and was ajipointed medical 

 director of his corjis in ()ct(d)er, 1863. In conse- 

 ipicnce of a sunstroke re<'eived soon after the 

 battle of (iettysburg ho was disnualified for 

 .active service, and in the autumn of that year he 

 became superintendent of hospitals at (^uiucy 

 and Springtiehl, 111., until August, 1865, when, 

 the dvil war having closed, he was brevetted

 also of the quarterly "Compendium of Medical 

 Science." Dr. Brinton has likewise been a 

 (M)nstant contributor to other medical. journals, 

 (diietly on (lucstions of public medicine and

 therai)entics and diagnosis, esjictially the itoi>- 

 ular series known as "Xapheyss Modern Ther- 

 apeutics," which has ]iassed through many 

 editions. In the medical controversies of the 

 day, he has always taken the positiiui that med-

 clinical observation rather than on physiologi<al 

 experiments. He has become prominent as a 

 student and a writer on American ethnology, 

 his work in this direction beginning while he

 the section on anthropology. During the same 

 year he was .awarded the medal of the " Soci6te 

 Americaine do France" for his " numerous and 

 learned works on Ameriian ethnohigy, " being 

 the first niitive of the United .States that has 

 been so honored. In 1885 the American pub- 

 lishers of the •• Iconograjihic Encyclopa-dia ' 

 requested him to (Mlit the first volume, to con- 

 tribute to it the articles on " Anthropology" 

 and " Ethnology,' and to revise that on " Eth- 

 iiograliy,"by Profea.sorGerland, of Strpasburg. 

 He also contributed to the second volume of the 

 same work an essay on the " Prehistoric Archie-
