Correspondence BENJAMIN SILLIMAN, 1779-1864-A

CORRECTION

Kindly permit me to call your attention to a slight error which occurs in the biographical sketch of Benjamin Silliman in the January, 1930, JOURNAL. According to the frontispiece accompanying this sketch, Silliman lived from 1779-1864, yet in the eighteenth and nineteenth lines of the first paragraph is the statement that he graduated from Yale in 1776, three years before his birth. EDWARD M. GERSTBNZANG 1560 E.3 2 STREET ~ ~ BROOKLYN, NEW YOKE

Editor's Note: We regret this error in proofreading. The date of Silliman's graduation from Yale should have been 1796.
