by the leading archaeologists of our nineteenth century. This.effort
has also been much facilitated through the zeal and experience of
my collaborator, Mr. Gliddon.
It is with no small gratification I now feel assured that, through
Dr. P atterson’s effective “ Memoir,” Morton’s cherished fame will
evermore preserve its rightful place among men of science; and,
again, that those grand Truths, for which I have long “ fought and
bled,” are at last established by the unanswerable “ Sketch” of our
chief naturalist, Prof. A gassiz; as well as triumphantly confirmed
through the teachings of scholars who have investigated the records
of antiquity in Egypt, China, Assyria, India, Palestine, and other
Oriental countries. j. an.
