II.

On _post mortem_ examination the following observations on Sir James Simpson's head were made:--

Skull--circumference round by occipital protuberance and below
frontal eminences, 22-1/2 inches.
--from ear to ear, 13 inches.
--from occipital protuberance to point between superciliary
ridges, 13 inches.
Brain--weight of entire brain (cerebrum and cerebellum) was 54
ounces; the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata weighed
5-1/4 ounces.

The convolutions of the cerebrum were remarkable for their number, depth, and intricate foldings. This was noticed more particularly in the anterior lobes and the islands of Reil.

BUILDERS OF GREATER BRITAIN

EDITED BY H. F. WILSON

_A Set of 10 Volumes, each with Photogravure Frontispiece, and Map, large crown 8vo., cloth, =5s.= each_.

The completion of the Sixtieth year of the Queen's reign will be the occasion of much retrospect and review, in the course of which the great men who, under the auspices of Her Majesty and her predecessors, have helped to make the British Empire what it is to-day, will naturally be brought to mind. Hence the idea of the present series. These biographies, concise but full, popular but authoritative, have been designed with the view of giving in each case an adequate picture of the builder in relation to his work.

The series will be under the general editorship of Mr. H. F. Wilson, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and now private secretary to the Right Hon. J. Chamberlain at the Colonial Office. Each volume will be placed in competent hands, and will contain the best portrait obtainable of its subject, and a map showing his special contribution to the Imperial edifice. The first to appear will be a Life of Sir Waiter Ralegh, by Major Hume, the learned author of "The Year after the Armada." Others in contemplation will deal with the Cabots, the quarter-centenary of whose sailing from Bristol has recently been celebrated in that city, as well as in Canada and Newfoundland; is Sir Thomas Maitland, the "King Tom" of the Mediterranean; Rajah Brooke, Sir Stamford Raffles, Lord Clive, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Zachary Macaulay, &c., &c.

The Series has taken for its motto the Miltonic prayer:--

"Thou Who of Thy free grace didst build up this Brittannick
Empire to a glorious and enviable height. With all her
Daughter Islands about her, stay us in this felicitie."

"A most valuable and conscientiously written historical work."--_Spectator._

"The whole book is extremely interesting, and at once instructive and amusing."--_Speaker._

"Deserves a wide circulation, and we trust that a proper reward will follow close upon its merits."--_Literary World._

"Major Hume has thrown the most curious and valuable light on the Armada period. Full of delightful sketches of men and things."--W. L. COURTNEY in _The Daily Telegraph_.

"A work which adds many a fresh page to English, and one may say to European history.... From first to last the volume is excellent reading, while the entertaining style in which the matter is presented and the undeniable authority of the writer ... render the book of special interest and permanent value."--_The Morning Post._

"Quite as good as a novel--and a good dead better, too. The book is so bright and vivid that readers with the common dislike of history may venture on its pages unafraid."--ANDREW LANG in _Cosmopolis_.
