THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. -The Proceedings of the Canadian Institute, fasc. 4, vol. i., being a continuation of the "Canadian Journal of Science, Literature, and History," contains some valuable articles on Natural History and Philology. Professor R. R. Wright contributes two,-one on a parasite, Demodex Phylloides, in the skin of Canadian swine, and the other on the Present Aspects of the Germ Theory of Disease. Prof. Jno. Campbell has a contribution on the Laws of Phonetic Change in the Khitan Languages. Messrs. McMurrich, MacNish, and Tyrrell, have also contributions in this number.

SYDNEY FREE LIBRARY.-The friends of Prof. Badham will regret to hear that for some time past his health has been failing, and it has been with difficulty and much personal inconvenience that he latterly attended at the meetings of the trustees of the Free Public Library and discharged the duties in connection with his position of chairman of the board which office he has so ably filled for a period of more than 13 years. Finding he was unequal

any longer to fulfil the duties with satisfaction to himself, he has resigned the office; but at the urgent request of his co-trustees he has consented to retain his position as a trustee of the library, and will still give his counsel to the Board. At a meeting of the trustees, held on Friday, June 8th, William Augustine Duncan, C. M.G., was unanimously elected to fill the vacant position of Chairman.-Sydney Echo.

NEW FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY AT SYDNEY.-We are glad to be able to announce that there is at last some hope that Sydney will have a Free Public Library that she will not need to be ashamed of. It is well known that the Hon. Minister for Public Instruction (Mr. G. H. Reid) has long been desirous that our Free Library should be decently and comfortably housed. In March, 1881, Mr. Reid carried a resolution in the Legislative Assembly to the effect that the site at the top of King Street, now occupied by the District Court, the Immigration Barracks, and the Colonial Architect's offices

should be utilized for a Free Public Library. The Government of the day, however, did not act upon the resolution, but proposed instead to have the Library on the site of the present Benevolent Asylum, which proposition was rejected by the Legislative Assembly. The present Government, we hear, are determined to carry out the terms of Mr. Reid's resolution of 1881, and intend to erect at the top of King Street a building that will serve as a Library, as a Technical College and School of Design, and a Technological Museum. THE TECHNOLOGICAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND SANITARY MUSEUM OF NEW SOUTH WALES.-It is pleasing to hear that the responses to the appeals for specimens, etc., to replace those lost in the great fire at the Garden Palace last year, have been so liberal that the Committee of Management hope to be able to open the Museum (in a temporary building we believe) in a few weeks.

En Memoriam.

BROOKS.-The Rev. Charles Timothy Brooks, whose name is well known in Europe and America as an accomplished German scholar, through his translations from Goethe, Schiller, Richter, and other German authors, died at his residence, Newport, R.I., on June 14th last. Mr. Brooks was born at Salem, Mass., on June 20, 1813, and graduated at Harvard in 1832. In 1837 he became pastor of the Unitarian Church at Newport. Besides his translations, Mr. Brooks published "Aquidnec and other Poems," 1848, and several other works.

EASTWICK.-By the death of Mr. E. B. Eastwick, C. B., etc., which took place on the 16th of July, we lose another of the distinguished Orientalists who earned fame under the old East India Company. Mr. Eastwick was born in 1814, and came of a family connected with the East India Company, his brother, Captain Eastwick, having been one of the Directors. On leaving Baliol College, at 22 years of age, he commenced his career as a Cadet in the Bombay Infantry, but he did not long lead a military life, as his proficiency in Oriental languages obtained for him political employment, and he was sent to Kathiawar and Sind. The climate of India telling upon his health, Mr. Eastwick was forced to resign his appointment, and took up his residence at Frankfort. in Germany, where he continued the Oriental studies he loved so well. He held the appointment of Professor of Hindustani at the East India Company's Training College at Haileybury, Hertford, from 1845 to the time the college was closed as an Indian training college, when he was appointed Assistant Secretary to the Political Department of the India Office. From 1860 to 1863 he was Secretary of the British Legation to the Persian Court at Teheran. After acting as Commissioner for settling the Venezuelan Loan, he received

the appointment of private secretary to the present Lord Salisbury, at that time Lord Cranbourne, Secretary of State for India, and it was during this employment he was made a Companion of the Bath. Mr. Eastwick sat in Parliament from 1868 to 1874 as a Conservative representative for Penrhyn and Falmouth, when in consequence of losses through a company started in connection with some bogus Canadian oil wells, he retired from politics and confined himself to literary labours. Mr. Eastwick was the author of several of Mr. John Murray's Oriental "Hand-Books," but his best known work was a translation of the "Gulistan," or Rose Garde of Sadi. His other translations from the Persian were the "Kessari Saujan," a history of the Parsee immigration India; the Zertusth Náma," a life of Zoroaster; the Prem Sagár" and the "Anwar-i-Suhali." In 1878 he publishe the "Kaisar-námah-i-Hind" (the Lay of the Empress), the second volume of which appeared in 1882. Besides the abon mentioned works, Mr. Eastwick translated Schiller's "Rev of the Netherlands," and wrote for All the Year Round "Sketches of Life in a South American Republic." composed after his visit to Venezuela. The "Journal of a Diplomate" was published after his mission to Persia; and the eighth edition of the " Encyclopædia Britannica contained somA articles from his pen.

SIMMS.-Jeptha Root Simms died on June 7th, at his residence, Fort Plain, New York. He was born at Canter bury, Connecticut, December 31, 1807. He was the authe of "The History of Schoharie County and the Border Wars of New York," 1845, "The American Spy, Nathaniel Hale," 1846, Trappers of New York," 1850. He recently re issued his first work under the title of "Frontiersmen of New York."
