Rh upon the forestry of the northwestern states. He described in 1853 the Catalpa speciosa, a tree that had not been recognized until that time as a dis- tinct species, but which is now accepted as one of the most valuable of forest-trees. In 1850 he be- gan the publication of the " Western Horticultural Review," which continued until 1854. when, with James W. Ward, he established the " Botanical Magazine and Horticultural Review," which he then edited for several years. Besides making con- tributions to medical, agricultural, and horticul- tural periodicals, he translated Trousseau and Bel- loc on " Laryngeal Phthisis" (Philadelphia, 1839), and published " Hedge Manual : a Complete Trea- tise on Hedges, Evergreens, and all Plants suit- able for American Hedging " (New York, 1858) ; " American Pomology : Part I., Apples " (1867) ; and an edition of Alphonse Du Breuil's " Vine- yard Culture " (1867).— His son, Robert Bowne, chemist, b. in Cincinnati, Ohio, 28 March, 1848, was graduated at Earlham college, Richmond, Ind., in 1866 and at the Lawrence scientific school of Harvard in 1874. He has since that time been en- gaged in teaching chemistry and physics, and in 1883-'7 was state chemist of Indiana. In 1887 he removed to Washington, D. C. Prof. Warder is a member of various societies, and has contributed pa- pers to their transactions and to scientific journals.

WARE, Henry, clergyman, b. in Sherburne, Mass., 1 April, 1764; d. in Cambridge, Mass., 12 July, 1845. He was the descendant in the fourth generation of Robert Ware, a native of England, who was one of the early settlers of Dedham, Mass., in 1642. Henry was graduated at Harvard in 1785, and while studying theology taught in Cam- bridge. He was ordained pastor of the first church at Hingham, Mass., 24 Oct., 1787, which charge he retained till 1805, when he became Hollis professor of divinity in Harvard. His election originated the discussion that led to the separation of the Unitarians — to whom he adhered — from the ortho- dox Congregationalists. He took no part in the controversy till 1820. when he engaged in a po- lemical discussion with Dr. Leonard Woods. He resigned the professorship of theology in 1810 in consequence of impaired eyesight, but continued two years longer in the chair of pulpit eloquence, which he had assumed in 1826. Harvard gave him the degree of D. D. in 1808. With Noah Worces- ter, William E. Channing, and Andrews Norton he laid the foundation of the conservative school of Unitarianisra. He published " Letters to Trini- tarians and Calvinists," in reply to Dr. Leonard Woods's " Letters to Unitarians " (Cambridge, 1820) ; " Answer to Dr. Woods's Reply " (1822) ; " Postscript to an Answer" (1823); "An Inquiry into the Foundation, Evidences, and Truths of Re- ligion " (2 vols., Cambridge and London, 1842) ; also various single sermons. — His son, Henry, clergy- man, b. in Hingham, Mass., 21 April, 1794; d. in Framingham, Mass., 22 Sept., 1843, was graduated at Harvard in 1812. He was assistant teacher at Phillips Exeter academy in 1812-'14, studied the- ology under his father's direction, and was or- dained pastor of the Second church (Unitarian) at Boston, 1 Jan., 1817. He took an active part in organizing the Unitarian body, and edited its or- gan, the "Christian Disciple," whose name was subsequently changed to the "Christian Exami- ner" in 1819-22. He visited Europe in 1829-'30 for the benefit of his health, resigned his pastorate soon after his return, and was appointed Park- man professor of pulpit eloquence and pastoral care in the divinity-school of Harvard in 1830, which chair he resigned in 1842. He received the degree of D. D. from Harvard in 1834, and pub- lished " Hints on Extemporaneous Preaching" (Boston, 1824); "Sermons on the Offices and Char- acter of Jesus Christ " (1825) ; " The Formation of Christian Charac- ter "(1831); "The Life of the Sav- iour "(1832); me- moirs of Joseph Priestley, Noah Worcester, and others; and sepa- rate sermons, es- says, and poems. The Rev. Chan- dler Robbins pub- lished selections from his writings (4 vols., Boston, 1846-7), and his brother, John, published his "Memoir "(2 vols., Boston, 1846). — The second Henry's second wife, Mary Lovell Pickard, b. in Boston, Mass., 2 Oct., i798; d. in Milton, Mass., 4 April, 1849, was distinguished for charitable traits, and her life forms the subject of a "Me- moir" by the Rev. Edward B. Hall, a brother- in-law of Dr. Ware (Boston, 1852). — The second Henry's son, John Fothergill Waterhouse, cler- gyman, b. in Boston, 31 Aug., 1818; d. in Milton, Mass., 26 Feb., 1881, was graduated at Harvard in 1838 and at the divinity-school in 1842. He was first settled as a pastor of the Unitarian society at Fall River, Mass., afterward was stationed at Cambridgeport, and in 1864 became pastor of the Unitarian church in Baltimore, Md. During his residence in Baltimore he gave much attention to the religious needs and other wants of the negroes, and before and during the civil war was an anti-slavery man. Mr. Ware returned to Boston, and in 1872 became pastor of the Arlington street church. He organized a Unitarian society at Swampscott, Mass., of which he was pastor at the time of his death, as well as of the Boston church. He was a favorite with the members of the Grand army of the republic, having been a worker among the soldiers during the civil war, and was a frequent orator before their organizations. He published "The Silent Pastor" (Boston, 1848); "Hymns and Tunes for Sunday-School Worship" (1853-'56-'60) ; and " Home Life : What it Is, and what it Needs " (1873). — Another son of the second Henry, William Robert, architect, b. in Cambridge, Mass., 27 May, 1832, was graduated at Harvard in 1852, and at the Lawrence scientific school in 1856. He was professor of architecture in the Massachusetts institute of technology from 1865 till 1881, and since the latter year has held a similar professorship in the School of mines of Columbia college, where he has entire charge of the department of architecture. He was a trustee of the Museum of fine arts, Boston, in 1876-'81, and since 1881 has held a similar office in connection with the Metropolitan museum, New York. In conjunction with Henry Van Brunt he designed the Memorial hall at Harvard college, the first church in Boston, the Union railway station, Worcester, and other buildings ; and later he designed the American school of classical studies at Athens, Greece. Prof. Ware is an accepted authority on architectural matters and is largely consulted in a professional capacity. He has published " Modern Perspective : a Treatise
