Excerpt from Biographical Notice of (the Late) James Gardette, Surgeon Dentist, of Philadelphia: Written, at the Invitation of Dr. C. A. Harris, for a "Dental Dictionary" He Is About to Publish Which it may have been accomplished. I havenecessarily made the Biography brief, because it was designed, as Will be perceived, for the pages of a Dictionary; and have confined myself chiefly to the professional career of my father. If any further apology is due for permitting sixteen years to pass by ere fulfilling this duty, it may be found in a natural hesitation to publish, until encouraged by suggestions from those Who have the best right to judge of its propriety.
