HENRI FABRE TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER TEIXEIRA DE MATTOS LONDON ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK 1911 A-- c J '\^ --^"5^'^ vt". TRANSLATOR'S NOTE The author of these essays was born at Sérignan, in Provence, in the year 1823, and was long in coming to his own. His birthday, indeed, is now celebrated annually (Henri Fabre is still alive) at both Sérignan and Orange ; but, as Maurice Maeterlinck, writing of this " Insect's Homer . whose brow should be girt with a double and radiant crown," says : " Fame is often forgetful, negligent, behindhand or is of name unjust ; and the crowd almost ignorant the of J. H. Fabre, who is one of the most profound and inventive scholars and also one of the purest writers and, I was going to add, one of the finest poets of the century that is just past." Fabre's Souvenirs Entomologigues form ten volumes, containing two to three hundred essays in all. -
A Descriptive Overview of the Medical Uses Given to Mentha Aromatic Herbs Throughout History
biology Review A Descriptive Overview of the Medical Uses Given to Mentha Aromatic Herbs throughout History Henrique Silva 1,2 1 Informetrics Research Group, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Pharmacy, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam Received: 20 November 2020; Accepted: 8 December 2020; Published: 21 December 2020 Simple Summary: Mints are aromatic herbs with a millenary tradition of use for diverse medicinal purposes since ancient civilizations, and they are still presently used in different clinical practices. Mints have been used since ancient Babylon, but it was in Classical Antiquity that their medical uses flourished, with major contributions from Pliny the Elder. In the Middle Ages, the increased knowledge surrounding mints came from Byzantine physicians, while, in the Modern Age, technological developments allowed the production of mint-based products, such as extracts and essential oils, which have become part of elaborate galenic formulas employed by an increasing number of physicians, and have also stimulated both scientific and artistic interests alike. In present-day medicine, several mints and mint-based products are being researched as potential therapeutic alternatives for many diseases, while also being vastly employed in food and cosmetic industries. Abstract: Mints have been among the most widely used herbs for medicinal purposes since ancient civilizations. They are still presently used for numerous purposes, including non-medicinal, which makes them economically relevant herbs. Information regarding the medical and scientific uses given to mints throughout history are vastly scattered and/or incomplete. The aim of this paper is to provide an extensive descriptive overview of the medical uses given to these herbs, highlighting both the authors in medical culture responsible for their dissemination, as well as their major galenic formulations. -

Samuel Stedman Haldeman
MEMOIR SAMUEL STEDMAN HALDEMAN, 1812-1880. J. P. LESLEY. - HEAD BKFORK THE NATIONAL ACATIKMY, NOV. lti, 1881. BIOGRAPHLCAL MEMOIR OF S. S. HALDEMAN. SAMUEL STEJXMAN HALDEMAN was born at Locust Grove, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, on the 12th of August, 1812. In front of the ancestral mansion in which this offspring of a worthy race first saw the light rolls one of the largest and most beautiful of the rivers of the New World—the river Susquehanna; its spreading tree of waters draining forty-five counties of the two greatest States of the Union, pouring southwards into the head of the largest bay of the Atlantic coast; a shallow river, a mile wide, lovely with green isles and rocky riffles in the summer season; a furious torrent in the early spring, submerging its banks and sweeping the accumulated ice-floes of a thousand affluents, with waste of forest and wreck of human habitations, into the sea. For some miles above his birthplace low hills of rounded lime- stone and red shale confine the flood and support a back country (to the east and west) of unsurpassed fertility, tilled by the thrifty descendants of an old German immigration. Twenty miles below Harrisburg, the capital of the State, the river changes its southeast course and flows due east five miles along the base of a range of quartzite cliffs about four hundred feet high; then bends southward and passes through a wide gate in the ridge, with a vertical wall of rock on the eastern, and high and wooded steeps on the western bank. -
