"Sacred to the memory of Dr. James Cutbush, Member of the
American Philosophical Society, Late Surgeon, U. S. Army and
Professor of Chemistry at the U. S. Military Academy, West
Point, N. Y., who departed this life December 15, 1823, aged
35 years. An honourable tribute of respect from his grateful
pupils."

The work of Cutbush was of the genuine pioneer character, and enriched
the annals of American chemistry. While it would be delightful to know
more of the man, cruel fate compels us to be content with the
estimate, brief though it is, given in Poulsen's _American Daily
Advertiser_, December 23, 1823:

"A man not only known for his extensive knowledge of
chemistry, but distinguished for his philosophy and
patriotism."
