d Hirzel. I was received by all in the kindest way. Professor Tiedemann, the Chancellor, is a man about the age of papa and ut a friend for life, and in after years a brother. Professor Tiedemann, by whom Agassiz had been so kindly received, recomm, an ardent student, and an especial lover of botany. At Tiedemann's lecture the next day Agassiz's attention was attracted ure and transcribing it that this was the student of whom Tiedemann had spoken, Agassiz turned to his neighbor as they both r Braun? Yes, and you, Louis Agassiz? It seems that Professor Tiedemann, who must have had a quick eye for affinities in thes, worms, and the like. Beside this, we always have from Tiedemann the very best books for reference and comparison, for he n pharmaceutical chemistry, and from five to six those of Tiedemann on comparative anatomy. In the interval, I sometimes go the use of the microscope, handled by him like a master. Tiedemann's lectures were very learned, and Agassiz always spoke of

e for myself a small collection of skulls of animals from different classes. I passed two years in Zurich, studying whatever I could find in the Museum, and dissecting all the animals I could procure. I even sent to Berlin at this time for a monkey in spirits of wine, that I might compare the nervous system with that of man. I spent all the little means I had in order to see and learn as much as possible. Then I persuaded my father to let me go to Heidelberg, where for a year I followed Tiedemann's courses in human anatomy. I passed almost the whole winter in the anatomical laboratory. The following summer I attended the lectures of Leuckart on zoology, and those of Bronn on fossils. When at Zurich, the longing to travel some day as a naturalist had taken possession of me, and at Heidelberg this desire only increased. My frequent visits to the Museum at Frankfort, and what I heard there concerning M. Ruppell himself, strengthened my purpose even more than all I had previously

After spending in this way two years in Zurich, I was attracted to Heidelberg by the great reputation of its celebrated teachers, Tiedemann, Leuckart, Bronn, and others. It is true that I was still obliged to give up a part of my time to the study of medicine, but while advancing in my professional course by a steady application to anatomy and physiology, I attended the lectures of Leuckart in zoology, and those of Bronn in paleontology. The publication of Goldfuss's great work on the fossils of Germany was just then beginning, and it opened a new world to me. Familiar as I was with Cuvier's Regne animal, I had not then see

n, full of spirits, vigor, and gayety, whose enthusiasm kindled in them the sacred fire of science. It was not long before his growing reputation brought him invitations from elsewhere. One of the first of these was from Heidelberg. Professor Tiedemann to Louis Agassiz. Heidelberg, December 4, 1832. . . . Last autumn, when I had the pleasure of meeting you in Carlsruhe, I proposed to you to give some lectures on Natural History at this university. Professor Leuckart, who till now rAgassiz, who stands so high in science, and whose intellectual qualities are enhanced by his amiable character. They write me from Heidelberg that they intend the place of M. Leuckart in zoology for my young friend. The choice is proposed by M. Tiedemann, and certainly nothing could be more honorable to M. Agassiz. Nevertheless, I hope that he will refuse it. He should remain for some years in your country, where a generous encouragement facilitates the publication of his work, which is of eq
