therapeutics and diagnosis, especially tlie pop- 

 ular series known as " Napheys's Modern Ther- 

 apeutics," which has passed through so many 

 editions. In the medical controversies of the 

 day, he has always taken the position that med- 

 ical science should be based on the results of 

 clinical observation, rather than on physiolog- 

 ical experiments. He has become prominent 

 as a student and a writer on American ethnol- 

 ogy, his work in this direction beginning while 

 he was a student in college. The winter of 

 1856-'57, spent in Florida, supplied him with 

 material for his first published book on the 

 subject. In 1884 he was appointed professor 

 of ethnology and -archaeology in the Academy 

 of N"atural Sciences, Philadelphia. For some 

 years he has been president of the Numismatic 

 and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia, and 

 in 1886 he was elected vice-president of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of 

 Science, to preside over the section on anthro- 

 pology. During the same year he was awarded 

 the medal of the "Soci6t6 Am6ricaine do 

 France" for his "numerous and learned works 

 on American ethnology," being the first native 

 of the United States that has been so honored. 

 In 1885 the American publishers of the "Icon- 

 ographic Encyclopaedia "requested him to edit 

 the first volume, to contribute to it the articles 

 on "Anthropology" and "Ethnology," and to 

 revise that on " Ethnography," by Professor 

 <xerland, of Strasburg^ He also contributed to 

 the second volume of the same work an essay 

 on the " Prehistoric Archaeology of both Hem- 

 ispheres." Dr. Brinton has established a 

 library and publishing house of aboriginal 

 American literature, for the purpose of placing 

 within the reach of scholars authentic materi- 

 als for the study of the languages and culture 

 of the native races of America. Each work is 

 the production of native minds and is printed 

 in the original. The series, most of which were 

 edited by Dr. Brinton himself, include " The 

 Maya Chronicles" (Philadelphia, 1882); "The 

 Iroquois Book of Kites" (1883); "The Giiegii- 

 ence: A Comedy Ballet in the Nahuatl Spanish 

 Dialect of Nicaragua" (1883); "A Migration 

 Legend of the Creek Indians" (1884); "The 

 Lenape and Their Legends" (1885) ; " The An- 

 nals of the Cakchiquels" (1885). ["Ancient 

 Nahuatl Poetry" (1887); Rig Veda Americanus 

 (1S90)]. Besides publishing numerous papers he 

 has contributed valuable reports on his exami- 

 nations of mounds, shell-heaps, rock inscrip- 

 tions, and other antiquities. He is the author of 

 "TheFloridian Peninsula: Its Literary History, 

 Indian Tribes, and Antiquities" (Philadelphia, 

 1859); "The Myths of the New World: A 

 Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of 

 the Red Race of America" (New York, 1868) ; 

 "The Religious Sentiment: A Contribution to 

 the Science and Philosophy of Religion" (1876); 

 " American Hero Myths : A Study in the Native 

 Rel igion s of the Western C ontin en t " (Phil adel- 

 phia, 1882) ; "Aboriginal American Authors and
