as written, I have been sincerely delighted to
find that my wishes had been anticipated at Girton College, near
Cambridge, and previously at Hitchin, whence the college was removed: and
that the wise ladies who superintend that establishment propose also that
most excellent institution--a swimming bath. A paper, moreover, read
before the London Association of Schoolmistresses in 1866, on "Physical
Exercises and Recreation for Girls," deserves all attention. May those
who promote such things prosper as they deserve.

{328} So says Dr. Irving, writing in 1817. I have, however, tried in
vain to get a sight of this book. I need not tell Scotch scholars how
much I am indebted throughout this article to Dr. David living's erudite
second edition of Buchanan's Life.

{358} A Life of Rondelet, by his pupil Laurent Joubert, is to be found
appended to his works; and with it an account of his illness and death,
by his cousin, Claude Formy, which is well worth the perusal of any man,
wise or foolish. Many interesting details beside, I owe to the courtesy
of Professor Planchon, of Montpellier, author of a discourse on 'Rondelet
et ses Disciples,' which appeared, with a learned and curious Appendice,
in the 'Montpellier Medical' for 1866.

{390} I owe this account of Bloet's--which appears to me the only one
trustworthy--to the courtesy and erudition of Professor Henry Morley, who
finds it quoted from Bloet's 'Acroama,' in the 'Observationum Medicarum
Rariorum, lib. vii.,' of John Theodore Schenk. Those who wish to know
several curious passages of Vesalius' life, which I have not inserted in
this article, would do well to consult one by Professor Morley, 'Anatomy
in Long Clothes,' in 'Fraser's Magazine' for November, 1853. May I
express a hope, which I am sure will be shared by all who have read
Professor Morley's biographies of Jerome Cardan and of Cornelius Agrippa,
that he will find leisure to return to the study of Vesalius' life; and
will do for him what he has done for the two just-mentioned writers?
