A long obituary notice published in the Christian Register of Saturday, Dec. 12, 1863, tells us more of her husband, Dr. Waterhouse, than of herself ;but itspeaks of her as being amiable and charitable. She was buried at Mount Auburn. Inher willshe made the following bequests : To Harvard College, the portraits of her husband and of her kinsman, Dr. Benjamin Colman. To the Boston Athenaeum, the picture of her kinsman, Sir Charles Hobby. To her kinsman Benjamin Colman Ward, the portraits of his and her great- grandfather and great-grandmother.

VII.£ Benjamin Waterhouse, the husband of Louisa Lee, born in Newport, R. 1., died in Cambridge, Mass. A physician and author. Residence : Cambridge. Dr. Waterhouse, having received the groundwork of a good classical and medical education, was encouraged by his famous kinsman, Dr- Fothergill, to go abroad and further pursue his studies. He arrived in London in April,1775, and entered the University of Edinburgh in the ensuing autumn. The next season, he returned to London, re-entered the hospitals, and joined the anatomical, surgical, chemical, and medical classes of the most celebrated lecturers. It was a great advantage to him that he SEVENTH GENERATION. 289 lived with so eminent a man as Dr. FothergHl, whose house was the resort of the most distinguished naturalists and physicians. Dr. Waterhouse did not confine his attention strictly to medical lectures, but was deeply inter­ ested in discourses on experimental philosophy, mineralogy, and botany. After having been three years in Great Britain, he was sent by Dr. Fother­ gillto the University of Leyden. Here he spent four academical years, travelling during the vacations. He, took his degree in April,1780, and remained one session longer at Leyden, attending lectures not immediately connected with medicine. After leaving Leyden, he. spent some, time in travelling, and made a journey to the West India Islands. He then re­ turned to his native country, arriving there in June, 1782, . Immediately after his arrival, Harvard University offered him the position of Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic, which he accepted. In1786, the College of Ehode Island bestowed upon him the title of Professor of Natural-History. In 1788, the Corporation of Harvard College requested— him to give, annually, a course of lectures, on Natural History, a subject in which instruction had not previously been given. Dr. Waterhouse had to exert all his energies to excite a taste for this branch of science, and it was seven years before the number of students inthat department exceeded a dozen. Itshould be remembered that Dr. Waterhouse worked alone and without iihe countenance of any congenial spirit on this side of the Atlantic In the meantime he undertook, in co-operation with Dr. Lettsom, to make a collection ofminerals. The splendid cabinet at Cambridge was the result ofhis efforts inthis department. Dr.Waterhouse made himself famous by introducing vaccination into this country. He has been called the Jenner of America. His publica­ tions on vaccination have been recognized in England as standard works. His high reputation at Cambridge was promptly achieved by his lectures on ,Natural History, which secured for him the honor of being the founder of the study of Natural History and Botany in Harvard Univer­ sity. He wrote much, and was a member of numerous scientific bodies in the United States and inEurope* 19 290 THE PICKERING GENEALOGY. He married his first wife,Elizabeth Oliver,in June, 1788. Their son, John Fothebgimi Watebhouse, M.D.,the physician, naturalist, and orator, was born Aug. 1, 1791, and diedat Charleston, S.

He lived for a time in Salem ;but he afterwards removed to Boston, and went into business there as a merchant. He often represented the town in the General Court, and had just been re-elected, when, early one morning, he was found dead inhis bed. Mr.Lee was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He possessed a great deal of mechanical ingenuity. 2 The following is an extract from his obituary which was printed inthe Columbian Centinel of Wednesday, May 15, 1816. " He was a citizen who has sustained numerous offices with honor to himself and usefulness to the community. He attended Divine service on Sunday and was a corpse on Monday morning." His funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Charming, who held Mr.Lee inhigh esteem. 1 The Polyanthos, Vol. 11. pp. 73-86, with portrait ;Dictionary of Biography, by Francis S.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph S. Devaney Washington, D.C. 2010 The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution Joseph S. Devaney, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. According to conventional understanding, the primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Constitution was to preserve liberty through a form of government that provided for a highly structured system of federalism and separation of powers. The primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to allay Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not sufficiently secure individual rights. For that reason, the original Constitution is frequently contrasted with the Bill of Rights. Yet distinguishing between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights obscures more about the nature of the Bill of Rights than it discloses. It is agreed that one of the primary Anti-Federalist objections to the Constitution was the absence of a bill of rights. A close examination of the debate over the absence of a bill of rights reveals that the first ten amendments to the Constitution occupy a much more complex place in the constitutional scheme than is commonly assumed. While individual rights did constitute an important theme during the ensuing debate concerning the importance of a bill of rights, they were not the only theme or even the prevailing theme.

Read before the Essex Institute, March 15, 1886, Ladies and Gentlemen^ — Two years ago, almost to a day, I had the pleasure of discussing before you what was at that time a new process of bleaching cotton and cotton fabrics, — process which, since that day, has been developed with steadily increasing value by a company doing business under Mr. Top- pan's inventions. This evening [March 15] I desire your attention to a consideration of the effects of the same solvent principle upon that other great textile material, wool. The lecture of two years ago was illustrated by the pro- cesses themselves, practically performed before your eyes. It is our intention this evening to follow out the same plan and to illustrate and, so far as may be, prove by experiment the statements which shall be made. It is our intention to scour upon the platform various speci- mens of wool, and as well, to dye before you such colors as can be fixed within a time which shall not demand, upon your part, too much of that virtue, patient waiting. Mr. Toppan, who needs no introduction to this audience, will undertake, later in the evening, the scouring of wool, and Mr. Frank Sherry, of Franklin, has kindly offered to assist in the work of dyeing. To those of you who are not familiar with the authorities in this country, in the work of dyeing, I need only say, that Mr.
