OBITUARY. 
the  Medical  and  Surgical  History  of  the  War  is  slowly  but  surely  pro- 
gressing-. The  solid  and  permanent  manner  in  which  these  new  features 
of  the  medical  department  of  the  army  are  being  carried  out  is  as  credit- 
able to  the  Medical  Bureau  as  it  is  to  the  indefatigable  exertions  of 
the  officers  and  surgeons  in  charge.

From  the  Author. 
Constitution,  By-LaiDs,  and  Code  of  Ethics  of  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy,  with  lists  of  officers,  committees,  members  and  gradu- 
ates, and  the  announcement  of  the  School  of  Pharmacy.  Pp.  56.  1869. 
This  pamphlet,  the  result  of  much  labor  during  the  past  year,  is  sent 
to  the  members  of  the  College  with  this  number,  and,  as  far  as  possible, 
to  the  associate,  honorary,  and  corresponding  members,  and  the  subscri- 
bers. As  several  important  changes  have  occurred  in  regard  to  member- 
ship, and  a  new  class  of  foreign  members  created,  it  should  be  closely 
examined  by  all  interested. 
OBITUARY. 
George  Peabody. — This  eminent  patron  of  science  and  education  died 
in  London,  November  4th,  1869,  in  his  75th  year.  A  Massachusetts  man 
by  birth,  and  attached  to  his  native  soil,  Mr.  P.  spent  most  of  his  life 
away  from  it,  the  earlier  portion  in  Baltimore  and  the  latter  in  London, 
where,  chiefly  as  merchant,  and  afterwards  as  banker,  he  acquired  the 
immense  fortune,  the  judicious  disposition  of  which,  during  his  life,  for 
educational  and  philanthropic  purposes,  has  won  for  him  the  respect  and 
admiration  of  the  old  world  and  the  new.  These  gifts  were  scattered 
through  a  period  of  seventeen  years,  but  it  was  only  in  the  latter  portion  of 
his  life  that  his  enlarged  views  took  shape,  in  regard  to  the  London  poor 
and  to  scientific  and  educational  institutions  in  this  country.  Nations 
have  vied  to  honor  his  memory. 
Dr.  Frederick  Penny,  Professor  of  Chemistry  in  the  Andersonian  In- 
stitution since  1839,  died  recently  in  Glasgow,  Scotland.  Numerous 
papers  record  his  researches. 
Peter  Y.  Coppuck,  of  Mount  Holly,  N.  J.,  died  on  the  29th  of  De- 
cember, 1869,  in  the  64th  year  of  his  age.  He  was  an  apothecary  in  good 
repute  in  his  locality,  was  an  associate  member  of  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa-
