The list of chief contributors to the first forty volumes of the Review, as appears from the Index published in 1878, would include, in addition to those already given, C. C.

Judge Story, then head of the Harvard Law School, who had for many years a hieight persons at this dinner, one-half of these being of Cambridge birth or residence, since Underwood had lately removed thither.

Felton, professor of Greek, wrote him a letter which he kept all his life. It runs as follows: I hasten to answer your letter which reached me last evening. Uviewing my Latin and Greek together daily, or rather nightly, which is the only sort of instruction I have had since your absence began. Mr. Hosmer wrote to Professor Felton, of Cambridge, who replied that I need have no fears on the score of admission, as, under the circumstances, I might be allowed to make up deficiencies while the class. On January 16, 1840, after he had been at Cambridge nearly a half-year, Dana wrote to Dr. Flint: For my part, I am in the focus of what Professor Felton calls supersublimated transcendentalism, and to tell the truth, I take to it rather kindly though I stumble sadly at some notions.

Do not think that I care to teach you this or the other special science. My instruction is only intended to show you the thoughts in nature which science reveals, and the facts I give you are useful only, or chiefly, for this object. . . . Agassiz had the cooperation not only of his brother-in-law, Professor Felton, but of others among his colleagues, who took classes in special departments, or gave lectures in history or literature.
