Until a few days before his deatli he was dili- gently engaged in writing his memoirs, in order, by their sale, to make provision for his family. His body found its final resting-plaee in a mag- nificent tomb In Riverside Park, New York City, overlooking the Hudson River. Memoirs of General Grant's career are numer- ous. Soon after the Civil War General Adam Badeau, his aide near the close of the war, wrote his Military History, in three octavo volumes (New York, 18G7-811. In his later years Gen- eral Grant was induced to contribute to the Cen'.ury Magazine many articles which attracted widespread attention, and were afterwards pub- lished in the work entitled: Battles- and Leaders of the Civil War (New York, 4 vols., 1887), and in his Personal Memoirs (New Y'ork. 2 vols., 1885). The dedication of the volumes last named, "To the American Soldier and Sailor, is dated New Y'ork, May 23, 1885, and the preface at Mount MacGregor, July 1. 1885. There is a short and excellent biography by Col. W. C. Church (New York, 1897) ;' another by Gen. James Grant Wilson (New Y'ork, 1868; re- vised ed. 188t)) ; a study of the ancestry of General Grant by E. C. Marshall (1800). and a story of his tour around tlie world by John Russell Y'oung.

He was educated at King's College. Aber- deen, and at Leyden University, and was called to the bar in 1774. He was appointed Attorney- General of Canada in 1770, but a few years later returned to England, where he at first met with small success. In accordance with Pitt's ad- vice he entered Parliament in 1790, and soon attained great prominence in that body. He held a number of political offices, notably that of Solicitor-General in Pitt's Administration, which procured him the honor of knighthood. In 1801 he was appointed JIaster of the Rolls, an office which he held for more than sixteen years, and in the discharge of which he made an enviable reputation as a judge.

A process of healing in wounds whose bleeding surfaces cannot be brought together. In wounds that can be closed, healing often takes place by 'first intention.' (See Wounds.) In an open wound, about the seventh day there appears in its depths a mass of bright reddish material arising from all sides, composed of small papilUe. The surface of this new growth is pebbled or granular, and it con- sists of a number of cells, together with new connective tissue provided with many looping ar- teries. The surface is sheathed with pus. 'These papilhp are called granulations. In most cases, where the successive laj'ers of granulations reach the level of the surface of the wounded part, the integument shoots forth from the margins, finally meeting in the centre, and the wound skins over. In other cases the gramilations grow above the surface in heaps, and are then termed exuberant granulations, or, yulgarl-, "proud Hesh.' Some- times after granvilation has conunenced in a wound its surfaces may be brought together and adhere, presenting an instance of union by 'sec- ond intention.' It is a fortunate circumstance that granulation tissue is a protection against the invasion of bacteria. The wall-like aggi-ega- tion of leucocytes, new connective-tissue cor- puscles, and new blood-vessels presents no open lymph -spaces through which alone the micro- organisms gain entrance.
