South Carolina, descended from Scottish parents; and after a medical education, conducted partly in Charlestown, and partly at Edinburgh and London, he settled in the latter place for the practice of his profession. It was a considerable time before he met with encouragement; nor indeed does it appear that his employment ever rose higher than a competence; but his turn was chiefly to reading and meditation, and he obtained the character of a perspicuous, vigorous, and elegant writer. philosophical works, Experiments and Observations on Vision, and an esssay upon Dew, are arnong the most distinguished. Almost all his writings upon medical subjects are contained in the second and third volumes of Transactions of a society for the promotion of medical and chirurgical knowledge.

14. Aged near 70, the Right Hon. John Philpot Curran. He was a native of the county of Cork, and after completing his education at Dublin college, he was called to the Irish bar, and by his splendid talents was soon brought into notice. He obtained a silk gown under the administration of the Duke of Portland; and in 1784 he acquired a seat in the Irish House of Commons, in which, by his sportive humour, he seconded the efforts of the popular party in favour of the national freedom and independence. As a lawyer he was not particularly distinguished by the extent of his knowledge, or the depth of his re

searches; but there were scarcely any on the Irish bench who equalled him in addressing a jury. Some of his speeches in defence of his unfortunate countrymen have been published, and are favourable proofs of the warmth of his eloquence. During the viceroyalty of the Duke of Bedford, he was made Master of the Rolls, in which he distinguished himself for clear and correct decisions. In 1815 he accepted a pension of 3,000l. a year, settled upon him on resigning his office; after which he passed the rest of his life chiefly near London.

Paris, &c. He was born at Geneva, and was for many years reader to her Majesty. The great object of his study was the investigation of the arrangement and composition of the globe, in which it was his purpose to prove the evidence of the scriptures by plain and demonstrable facts. In pursuit of this intention he visited most of the countries of Europe, where he made himself known to most of the men of science of the age. The fruit of his different inquiries were a treatise on Geology, and six volumes of Geological travels. For several years he was confined to his room by the infirmities of age, but his scientific ardour remained unabated.
