soldiers. His father was George Hartman, who
was an officer in the war of 1812, and afterward a
major-general of Pennsylvania militia. The son
was graduated in medicine at the University of

profession with success. When at school he showed
a fondness for the natural sciences, and at the age

collection of the latter excels those in the British
museum and the Jardin des Plantes, and he has
published bibliographic and synonymic catalogues
of it. In connection with Dr. Ezra Michener, he
issued an illustrated and descriptive catalogue
