report  on  weights  and  measures,  and  developed  in  a  most  able  man- 
ner, the  value  of  the  octonary  system,  with  an  entirely  new  plan  for 
weights  and  measures,  which  will  be  found  in  the  Proceedings  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  1859.  A  good  mathema- 
tician, with  an  accurate  knowledge  of  ancient  languages,  a  forcible 
writer  of  English,  with  a  correct  knowledge  of  etymology,  it  will  be 
seen  that  he  was  admirably  equipped  for  his  great  work  on  the 
Committee  of  the  Revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia. 
In  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy ',  and  in  the  Proceedings  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  will  be  found  many  contri- 
butions from  his  pen.   A  review  of  these  will  exhibit  his  versatility.
