During this period he continued to preach only occasionally. On the great occasion of the fifty-first anniversary of his ministry in Chesterfield, he was once more in his pulpit, and preached to a crowded assembly, reviewing the events of his long and happy connection with that people as their spiritnal guide. This was his last public effort. On the 18th of October, 1823, God called him above. A few days before his death, while alone in his study, he was overheard to cry out, as if calling some one. Mrs. Wood, his ever watch- ful consort, hastened to his side, asking, 'Did you call me?' He answered, 'No; I had such a vision of the Heavenly glory awaiting me, that I could not help crying out for joy and wonder.'
His death was literally a falling asleep. In his usual (though now impaired)
*His salary was first fixed at 65 pounds, but was raised, in 1792, to £80.

health he had just now dined, and was reclining on his couch for his accus- tomed after-dinner repose. Mrs. Wood was sitting by. A sudden spasmodic breath, and she started up to look at the sleeper inquiringly. Opening his eyes he said, 'Nothing, dear, but a little spasm,' and slept again. In ten minutes two or three spasmodic breathings again alarmed her. She was quickly at the bedside, but lo! without a groan, without a pang the spirit had flown forever. In half an hour the tidings had brought to that presence the beloved colleague, who said, as he gazed in sorrow on that placid face, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord! They rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.'
In person, Mr. Wood was of inedium height, with a full habit, smooth face, florid complexion, and an attractive countenance, as shown in a life-size portrait painted by Belknap, now in possession of his grandson, [Prof. A. Wood.] His family consisted of 3 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom have long since passed away. His venerable widow survived him 20 years, and finally died in Indiana, at the home of one of her daughters, at the ripe age of 93 years."

He was widely known as the author of several popular works on botany, and was, in fact, one of the best botanists in the United States. The story of his life, as related by himself a few months before his death, is here given with very slight alterations ; for surely he who did so much to promote the study of the beautiful science to which he devoted his life, is worthy of a conspicuous place among the many eminent and distinguished sons whom Chesterfield has produced.
His first fifteen years were spent at home in the old manse, dividing his time between rural occupations and study in the village school and the Acad- emy. After this his winters were employed in teaching village schools in other towns,-notably in Keene, Walpole, Claremont, Fitzwilliam, Vernon, Newburyport,-until the date of his graduation at Dartmouth College, A. D. 1834. Immediately after this event, he was called to Kimball Union Acade- my at Meriden, as teacher of Natural Science and Latin, where, with an in- terruption of one year only, he remained during the next fifteen years. This one year he spent at Andover, Mass., in the study of theology, endeavoring to fulfill the long cherished purpose of his parents. But his theological train- ing was cut short by a peremptory summons to return to Meriden. Soon after this, Mr. Wood was licensed, after examination, by the Sullivan Coun- ty Association as a preacher of the Gospel; but his ministry was confined to the army of students that filled the Academy (200-300), and occasional ser- vices in the neighboring churches.
It was during his residence in Meriden, that he first conceived the purpose of preparing a class-book of botany. The purpose arose very naturally; first, from his excessive fondness for the science, and secondly, from his felt necessities as a teacher of natural history.

Devoting his leisure hours and vacations largely to botanical excursions and studies, seven years passed, till 1845, when the 'Class-Book' was first is- sued. The work was not stereotyped, being with the publishers a mere ex- periment, and only 1500 copies were printed.
A demand unexpectedly great soon exhausted this edition.
In preparing for a new issue, Mr. Wood passed the spring and summer of 1846 in the Western States, whither his parents had then removed, botanizing in the prairies and barrens, in order to extent the limits of his flora as far west as the Mississippi river. He was accompanied by his wife, Lucy, and son, Frank Alphonso, then two years old. .
In the spring of 1849, on account of impaired health, he resigned his con- nection with the K. U. Academy, and entered the more active service of civil-engineer in the construction of a railway from Rutland, Vt., to Albany, N. Y.
On the completion of this work (which proved available not only for health but for botanical study), he removed with his family to Cleveland, O., and there, in 1852, resumed his profession as teacher in the Cleveland Female Seminary, associated with Rev. Elbridge Hosmer, to whom, however, after two years, he transferred his entire interest in the school, and again removed, to become more permanently located at College Hill, near Cincinnati, as pro- fessor in the Ohio Female College, founded and presided over by Rev. John Covert.
In this beautiful place overlooking the city he passed six years, witnessing many changes. That noble college edifice was destroyed by fire, then rebuilt, under his own auspices, and restored to a full tide of prosperity, when, in 1858, having transferred his interest in the college to Messrs. Cary and Vail, he resigned, to enter on a new enterprise at Terre Haute, Ind., in connection with Mr. Covert-the establishment of the Terre Haute Female College.
This institution speedily attained to great prosperity and usefulness, and, after two years, in the autumn of 1860, in order to facilitate the reprinting of his books, Prof. Wood removed with his family to Brooklyn, N. Y.
The 'Class Book' had now become an important interest. To extend the area of its flora, an exploration of the Southern States, lasting six months of the year 1857, had been accomplished, in which the author, besides botanical lore, had gained an intimate knowledge of the peculiar institution of slavery, then culminating to its downfall.
After having completed the third re-print of the 'Class-Book,' he again re- sumed the business of instruction, opening, in 1861, (annus mirabilis ! ), the Brooklyn Female Academy.
In spite of the direful civil war, this institution proved a success, attaining a high repute and generous patronage during the five succeeding years.
But the love of his favorite science again allured him away, and, in Octo- ber, 1865, Mr. Wood embarked alone for California, leaving his son Frank in the New York University, and his wife and daughter, Lillian, in Freehold, N. J.
501
In the Pacific States he sojourned one year, in constant travel, surveying the mountains, the mines, the rocks, the peoples, and especially the plants, of that glorious land, from San Diego to Puget's Sound, and returning by the way of the Isthmus, in November, '66.
In the spring of 1867, having transferred his interests in Brooklyn, he once more collected his family into a new home, in the village of West Farms, a suburb of the City of New York (and now annexed to it) on the north. Here he suffered affliction in the death of his wife Lucy.
While he resided at West Farms, Prof. Wood was employed in revising and re-publishing his botanical works, and in per- forming the duties connected with the Chair of Botany in the N. Y. College of Pharmacy. He sometimes, also, preached as openings in the churches occurred.
He was the author of the following works, which are all published at present by A. S. Barnes & Company :
I. Class-Book of Botany. 1845. Svo. 860 pp.
2. Object Lessons in Botany. 1862. 300 pp.

Early in December, ISSo, he took a severe cold in his head, which finally resulted in a fever, with cerebral asthenia, and died on the fourth day of January, ISSI.
