	Elizabeth Smith Miller
		Smith enjoyed a financially secure life except for a short time during the Panic of 1837, when her family moved from their mansion to a cottage and Smith and her mother worked as clerks in her father’s land office.
		Smith was educated mainly by her father and governesses, except for a period in 1835-6, when she attended a "manual labor school" in Clinton, New York, and in 1839, when she went to Friends School in Philadelphia.
		Miller was perhaps most fondly remembered by her contemporaries for carrying on the tradition -- established by her father and mother in Peterboro -- of providing a welcoming environment for reformers and philosophers.

	The Jaw of the Piltdown Man
		Gerrit S. Miller of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, was requested by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the United States National Museum, to compare a set of casts of the skull of the Piltdown man, supplied by the British Museum, with the skulls of anthropoid apes.
		Miller, the Piltdown jaw is that of an ape; regarded as a human jaw the greater intercondylar width of necessity causes a wide divergence from the median plane of the condyles.
		Miller's experience of worn canines in the chimpanzee is evidently limited, or he would not have failed to find examples which flatly contradict him when he says that all traces of the original convexity of the inner surface of the tooth are never lost.

	Note on the Molar Teeth of the Piltdown Mandible
		Miller has gone into the problem in a most thorough manner and was the first to make and publish extended comparisons between the Piltdown jaw and teeth, and those of a large series of chimpanzees.
		Dr. Smith Woodward, for example, the describer of Eoanthropus, is still firm in his belief that the Piltdown jaw belongs with the Piltdown skull, which was found, along with remains of other mammals, in the same place.
		Miller is fully justified in holding that the lower molars of the Piltdown jaw are those of a chimpanzee and not those of an extinct genus of Hominidæ.
