recovery of Hariot's Will, for it at once dispels a great deal of the
inference and conjecture that have so long beclouded his memory. It

scientific and philosophical Life. By this and the other authorities
given it is hoped to add a new star to the joint constellation of the
honored Worthies of England and America.
