Abstract

Notes

The article presents information related to books and publishers. "The Pulse of Health" is the title of an interesting little periodical publication, which calls itself an exponent of cumulative exercise and general hygiene, and is published by the Health Lift Co. of this city, and edited by Frank W. Reilly. The publishers, with a most commendable and at the same time remarkable honesty, announce that as they are manufacturers of one of the numerous machines in the market for use in this exercise, and so open to the charge of ulterior motives, they wish to emphasize the distinction between the system of exercise and any or all machines. By the death last week Thursday, November 14, of professor James Hadley of Yale College, American scholarship has sustained a most deplorable loss. Those who knew him well did not hesitate to rank him as the first of American philologists, first, for the comprehensive variety of his acquisitions, for the minute accuracy of his learning, and his ready and complete command of all its resources, for his philosophical spirit, critical acumen, and sound judgment, and for his power of easy and lucid expression.
