Addison, Thomas, M.D., 1793-1860, b. at Long Benton, near Newcastle, Eng., was educated at Newcastle Grammar-School and at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated M.D. in 1815. He went to London and became connected, first as student, then as lecturer and physician, with Guy's Hospital, where he acquired a high reputation as a clinical teacher and did more than any of his colleagues to establish the fame of the hospital as a medical school. He never obtained a large practice as a physician, but devoted himself to teaching and original investigation. His researches on pneumonia were much in advance of his time, but his chief claim to medical fame rests on his discovery of the rare disease known as "Addison's disease," which was announced in his Essay on Disease of the Supra-Renal Capsules. 1.

Agassiz, Alexander, B.S., b. 1835, at Neuchâtel, Switzerland, only son of Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz, infra, by his first wife, Cécile Braun. He followed his father to the United States in 1849, graduated at Harvard College in 1855, and studied engineering at the Lawrence Scientific School, where he took the degree of B.S. in 1857. In 1859 he went to California as assistant on the U.S. Coast Survey, and on his return to Cambridge became connected with the Museum of Comparative Zoology. From 1866 to 1869 he was superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla copper-mines, Lake Superior, which, partly through his geological knowledge, were developed into the richest in the world. After his father's death he was made Curator of the Museum at Cambridge, and retained that position till 1885, when he resigned on account of ill health. He was Director of the Penikese School of Natural History during the summer of 1873, and afterwards established at his own cost a school of zoology at Newport. Mr. Agassiz's special branch is marine zoology, and he assisted Sir Wyville Thompson in arranging the collections of the Challenger and wrote the report on the Echini. He has contributed numerous papers to scientific periodicals and to the proceedings of scientific societies with which he is connected. Some of these, reissued separately, are mentioned below. 1.

"In spite of the valuable observations with which it teems, we confess to considerable disappointment with the book. Whenever confronted with one of the great general problems to which oceanic researches necessarily fead, Prof. Agassiz displays a lack of lucidity, an inability to marshal facts in their logical sequence, which detract seriously from the scientific value of the work. Where, however, Prof. Agassiz deals with his special sub jects-as, for example, in the history of the West Indian Echinoidea-he is most instructive."-Ath., No. 3168.

Agassiz, Mrs. Elizabeth Cabot, daughter of Thomas Graves Cary, of Boston, Mass., married, 1850, to Professor Louis Agassiz, (infra.) She accompanied her husband on his journey to Brazil in 1865-66 and in the Hassler expedition of 1871-72, of which she wrote an account for the Atlantic Monthly, and was associated with him in many of his studies and writings. 1.

"These volumes are an account not so much of a life as of a life-work, the story less of a person than of a mind; and the place of affairs, in which biography is usually immersed, is taken by facts and theories of science. The personal thread, however, vanishing and reappearing, runs like a golden strand through it all, though there is always a regret that it should be so slight.. The story is one of those shining examples of plain living and high thinking which are like wells of pure water in a dry land. The enthusiasm which Agassiz always kindled in others is felt throughout the work as his saving force within; and the spirit which is preserved in these pages must always be a rousing and sustaining influence for the scientific life under its trials."-Nation, xli. 365.

This record of his life and work is distinguished no less by judgment and good taste than by fulness of scientific knowledge; while the simplicity and earnestness with which it is written lend it a peculiar charm and interest. It is neither redundant nor meagre; the scientific student (despite some modest words of doubt in the preface) will find the course of Agassiz's work sufficiently traced in it, while the general reader will be attracted by its lively portraiture of a generous character joined to a noble intellect."-Spectator, lviii, 1703.

Agassiz, Jean Louis Rodolphe, [ante, vol. i., add.,] 1807-1873. His biography divides with singular evenness into two sections, the one belonging to the annals of European, the other to those of American

scientific research. The most important of his original studies and theories belong to the former period; his labors in America tended to become more and more those of a teacher and organizer. From 1851 to 1854 he was professor of comparative anatomy and zoology in the Charleston (S.C.) Medical College. He then returned to Cambridge, and on the establishment of the Museum of Comparative Zoology in 1859 became its curator, devoting much of his time to increasing and arranging its collection. In 1865 he planned a voyage to Brazil, partly for his health, which, through the liberality of Mr. Nathaniel Thayer, a Boston merchant, was turned into a well-equipped scientific expedition, lasting sixteen months. In 1868 he was appointed a non-resident professor of natural history at Cornell University and delivered a course of lectures there. He made another scientific journey in 1871-72 round Cape Horn in the U.S. Coast Survey steamer Hassler. In 1873 he opened the Penikese Summer School of Natural History, on an endowment made by Mr. John Anderson, of New York, and lectured there throughout the summer. About the same time he began a series of articles for the Atlantic Monthly on Evolution and Permanence of Type, only one of which was ever finished. He died at Cambridge after a short illness, and was buried at Mt. Auburn, where his grave is marked by a boulder from the glacier of the Aar. A complete list of his numerous contributions to the transactions and proceedings of scientific societies is given in the catalogue of scientific papers published by the Royal Society of London. 1.
