Abstract: in his fifty-second year; and when his remains were consigned to the tomb, in Highgate Cemetery, they were met by a large number of his professional brethren, who had spontaneously resolved thus to demonstrate their sense of the public and private virtues of their deceased friend, and by the erection of a monument, to exhibit their heartfelt sympathy for the premature loss of so good and talented a man.H e was not an old member of the Institution, having only been elected in 1845, and his engagements, being chiefly in the country, precluded his giving much personal attendance at the meetings, but he took part in some discussions in so able a manner as to cause regret that he could not more frequently be present.
