his part in the great battle of Hastings. For his service on that occasion he was rewarded by King William with a grant of an extensive tract of land in Richmondshire, running south- wards to the river Ribble in Lancashire, and it was in this place the younger branch of the royal family of Bavaria first settled in England. Adam Guelph soon dropped his German surname. He followed the Norman fashion of taking up the name of a particular place for a surname, and thus became a de Saltzburg, or Adam of Saltzburg-Saltzburg being the name of the place in Bavaria from which he came. He settled upon his new possessions, built himself a house at no great distance from Preston, called it after his new name, and by that name-Salmesbury Court or Salebury Hall-it is known to this day. Adam de Saltzburg was not, as many of his descendants proudly supposed, a Norman, but a pure Saxon, having the same origin as the house of Saxony." The time of Adam de Saltzburg's death is uncertain, but in the year 1102 his eldest son, Alexander de Saltzburg, had suc- ceeded to the father's vast possessions. Alexander died in 1153. He left two sons, Alexander and Henry. The eldest succeeded to the Lancashire property, and Henry to an estate in Cheshire. The following curious document may be of inter- est. It is copied from Mr. William's " Records of Denbigh" :
"Rand. Holme of Chester, Ald., Deputy to the Office of Armes.

James H., the subject of this sketch, received his early education at Homer Academy, Cortland county, New York, then presided over by the justly celebrated Professor Samuel Woolworth, who was for many years-up to his recent death- secretary of the board of regents of the University of the State of New York. He received the degree of Bachelor of Natural Sciences (B. N. S.) at the Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, in 1846, previous to which he had been appointed assistant under Professor Ebenezer Emmons, in the chemical department of the Geological Survey of the State of New York, which place he filled till January 1, 1849, when he was made principal. He remained principal, with his brother, Charles B., as assistant, until 1852. Dr. Salis- bury received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Albany Medical College in January, 1850, and that of Master of Arts from Union College, Schenectady, New York, in Au- gust, 1852. He was elected a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1848, and the same year was also made a member of the Albany Institute. In 1853 he was elected corresponding member of the Natural History Society of Montreal. In 1878 he was chosen presi- dent of the Institute of Micrology, a position he continues to hold. In 1857 he was elected member of the American An- tiquarian Society, and in 1876 was made vice-president of the Western Reserve Historical Society. In 1879 he was elected a member of the Philosophical Society of Great Brit- ain. In 1848 Dr. Salisbury received the prize gold medal from the Young Men's Association of Albany, for the best essay on the "Anatomy and Histology of Plants." In 1849

he won the prize of three hundred dollars, offered by the New York State Agricultural Society for the best essay on " The Chemical and Physiological Examinations of the Maize Plant, during the various stages of its growth." This made a work of over two hundred pages, and was published in the New York State Agricultural Reports for 1849, and subse- quently copied entire in the State Agricultural Reports of Ohio In 1851 and 1852 he gave two courses of lectures on " Elementary and applied Chemistry " in the New York State Normal School. He also conducted a series of experiments on different subjects, which were embodied in several papers read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1851, and were published in their transactions, and also in the New York Journal of Medicine of a later date. While in charge of the State Laboratory of New York from 1849 to 1852, he was constantly engaged in chemical and medical investigations, the results of many of thiem being published in the Transactions of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in State Geological and Agricultural Reports, and in the various scientific and medi- cal journals of that period. In 1849 he began his studies in Microscopic Medicine, in which he has been so successful. He has persevered in these studies, with scarcely any inter- mission, ever since, devoting much of his time daily to mi- croscopic investigations. In 1858, he began the study of Healthy and Unhealthy Alimentation, and the influence the latter has in producing the various chronic diseases that are supposed to be incurable. He has found by his long con- tinued and persistent researches in this direction that Con- sumption, Bright's Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, Rheumatism, Gout, nearly all abnormal growths, the various paralytic dis- eases-aside from those which are the result of injury-and nearly all cases of mental derangement and fatty disease of organs, arise from unhealthy feeding and drinking. He was the pioneer in demonstrating that the various infectious and contagious diseases were produced by specific germs, each kind always producing its special disease. He began these investigations, connected with the various germ diseases, in 1849, and was vigorously criticised both in Europe and this country, up to 1865, when Professor Ernest Hallier, of Jena, Prussia, an able cryptogamic botanist, in reading his papers, became so interested that he began investigations in the same field and in 1868, he wrote him with much enthusiasm that he had confirmed every investigation that he (Salisbury) had made and published, and if desired he would come on and join him in these interesting labors, he taking charge of the botanical and Dr. Salisbury the medical. Soon after this Pasteur, and then Huxley and Tyndall, became interested in this line of labor, and now no one doubts the truth of the so-called "Germ Theory " of disease. Farther on will be given a list of the papers on the various germ diseases he has investigated, with the dates of publication. In 1860 he began a series of investigations to discover if possible where blood was made, and the office or offices it played in the organism. Strange as it may appear, no one up to this time had explored this field with any success. A large share of his time for two years was devoted to this work, all the micro- scopic work being conducted upon living, healthy animals, which were placed under the influence of chloroform, and kept there while the necessary dissections and microscopic examinations were going on. After a long, tedious, persist- ent and painstaking labor, during which several hundred animals had fallen a sacrifice to the work, the mystery was
solved, and the great blood gland was found to be the spleen, and the smaller ones the mesenteric and lymphatic. These investigations were embodied in a paper, and published in the American Journal of Medical Sciences, Philadelphia, for April, 1866. The extended labors of himself and brother, C. B. Salisbury, on the "Ancient Earth and Rock-writing" of this country, in connection with the earth and rock works of the ancient mound builders, have been embodied in a large quarto volume with thirty-nine plates, which is in the hands of the American Antiquarian Society, and is only par- tially published. The great labors of his life, comprising, as he claims, an explanation of the causes and successful treat- ment of nearly every chronic disease that is supposed to be incurable, are yet unpublished. In January, 1864, Dr. Salis- bury came to Cleveland to assist in starting "Charity Hos-
pital Medical College." He gave to this institution two courses of lectures in 1864-5 and 1865-6 on physiology, his- tology, and the microscope in disease. From January, 1864, to the present time, he has been constantly engaged in treat- ing chronic diseases-especially those which have hitherto been considered fatal, and his success in this field is widely known. The following list of his published and unpublished works and papers will serve to give some idea of the extent and variety of his labors :

He was married on the 26th day of June, 1860, to Clara Brasee, daughter of Hon. John T. Brasee, of Lancaster, Ohio. She was born April 26th, 1839. They have the fol- lowing children : Minnie B. Salisbury, born August 27th, 1866, and Trafford B. Salisbury, born January 22d, 1874.
STORER, BELLAMY, LL.D., lawyer and jurist, was born at Portland, Maine, March 26th, 1796, and died at Cin- cinnati, Ohio, June Ist, 1875. In preparing for college under the tutorship of Edward Payton, D. D., and Ebenezer Adams, late professor at Dartmouth College, he exhibited rare natural ability for learning, and was able to enter Bowdoin College at the age of thirteen, in August, 1809. Without graduating, however, he entered upon the study of the law under the di- rection of Chief Justice Parker, in Boston, and there in 1817 was admitted to the bar. Shortly afterwards, removing to Cincinnati, he was there readmitted, at once commencing practice, and soon attained to high rank in his profession, and prominent position among the active and leading men of that city. A whig in politics and his party having long been in a hopeless minority in that, the first congressional district of the State, he was, in 1834, selected as the candidate for Congress of his party, and under the most exciting circumstances ran against the opposition candidate, Robert T. Lytle, the friend of the administration, and was elected by a very fair majority. In Congress his vigorous and eloquent language won for him a distinguished position among the public men of the time, and his effective support of General Harrison, who had long been his warm personal friend, greatly aided the election of that distinguished gentleman and gallant officer as the President of the United States. After the expiration of his Congressional term Mr. Storer returned to the practice of his profession, and continued to take active interest in all public movements of advantage to the city, and in political contests throughout the State. In 1844 he was presidential elector on the whig ticket, and cast his vote for Mr. Clay. The new constitution requiring the election of judges by the people, went into ope- ration in 1852, and without his knowledge he was nominated for the supreme bench by his party, and, although defeated, led his ticket by several thousand votes. In 1854 he was elected judge of the superior court of Cincinnati, and re- mained in that office until 1872, when he resigned. In the act creating this office, it was provided that the first judges elected should cast lots for their respective terms, the terms being of unequal length, viz., three, four and five years. His colleagues were Judges O. M. Spencer and William Y. Ghol- son, and the short term of three years fell to him. He was so continuously reelected that as we have mentioned he served
