    ILLUSTRIOUS VEGETARIANS. Having taken a fancy to illustrate my Penny Cookery with some portraits of distinguished vegetarians, I may properly call them .illustrious. In a larger work I might have begun with. Buddha, Brahma,' or Pythagoras : being scant of rooTn Ibegin with my own tfeacher of the Vegetarian Doctrine, Sylvester Graham, an American lecturer on Physiology and Health, the well-known author of the Science of Human Life, whom I heard in 1834, while attending a course of Medical Lectures at Dartmouth College. Next I have placed the vene¬ rated President of the Vegetarian Society, Francis W. Newman, the brother of Car¬ dinal Newman, Fellow of Wor¬ cester College, Oxford, Emeritus Prof., of Politi¬ cal Economy, London Univer¬ sity, etc., etc., one of the cleverest and strongest writers on all ways of Professor . Newman was v'I'C born in 1805, and became a vege¬ tarian in 1868. John Davie, of Dunfermline, was born near Stirling, in 1800, became a total abstainer in 1830, and has been about 40 years a vegetarian, and long the treasurer of the Vegetarian Society, and managing director of th^ Waverley Hydropathic Institution at Melrose. At eighty-tliree Mr. Davie enjoys vigorous health with the promise of many years of active life. Isaac Pitman, of Bath, was born at Trowbridge, Wilts, 1815, and has been a zealous vegetarian for 40 years. He is widely known as the inventor of Phonography, and is thus doubly a distinguished benefactor. Wm. Gibson Ward, of Perriston Towers, Boss, was born in 1819, and was a vegetarian for 30 years; but, engaged in many exciting social and political conflicts, died at the early age of 65. A series of letters in the Times was his best-known work for a simple and natural diet. The inside being full, the last of the series takes an outside place, or driver’s seat, on the cover. Thomas Low Nichols was born at Orford, New Hampshire, U.S.A., Dec. 13th, 1815, and adopted vegetarianism, as above stated, in 1834. right living Sylvester Graham, an American Lecturer on Physiology and Health.
