considered, more particularly in answer to a Pamphlet by B. Marden, M.A. entitled "The Apostle Paul an Unitarian, especially as appears from a minute examination of Philippians xi. 6-11,' &c." Mr. Hughes also compiled a continuation of the History of England, in sequence to Hume and Smollett. It embraced the period from 1760 to 1835, and bears the date 1836, in 9 vols. 8vo. Mr. Hughes was appointed a prebendary of Peterborough in 1827. He was presented to the rectory of Fisherton, in Lincolnshire, in 1832, by the dean and chapter of Peterborough; to the rectory of Hardwick, in Northamptonshire, in 1832, on the presentation of Louisa and Sarah-Jane Hughes, of Nuneaton, in Warwickshire; and to the perpetual curacy of Edgeware, in Middlesex, in 1846. Mr. Hughes's collections of literature and art have been recently dispersed by Messrs. Leigh Sotheby and Co., his engravings on the 25th and 26th Jan., his library and manuscripts on the 31st. Jan. and 1st. Feb. and his cabinet pictures on the 17th of February. Among the manuscripts were two lots of the papers and correspondence connected with Mr. Hughes's travels in Greece and Turkey. REV. GEORGE CLARK, A.M. Jan. 21. At Kensington, aged 70, the Rev. George Clark, A.M., Chaplain to the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea, and to H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge. Mr. Clark was born at Northampton, 14th Sept. 1777, the only surviving son of Joseph Clark, receiver of Stamps and Taxes for the Midland counties, (a lucrative office, the gift of which was one of many acts of kindness received by four generations of his family from three of that of the Spencers of Althorpe,) by Sarah Rudsdell, his wife, and grandson of Samuel Clark, of St. Alban's, D.D., the friend of Watts and Daniel Neal, and the guardian and friend of Doddridge. Mr. Clark was educated at Rugby under Dr. James, and was of Trinity college, Cambridge, in which university he graduated A.B. in 1799, and A.M. in 1802. He was ordained by Bishop Madan, of Peterborough, Deacon, 8th June, 1800, and Priest, 13th Dec. 1801. In 1800 he was licensed to the Curacy of Kingsthorpe by Northampton, under its present incumbent, Mr. Baxter; and in 1804 was appointed Chaplain to the Royal Military Asylum, then founded for the children of soldiers of the regular army, and this office, without other preferment, he held until his death. Paternally, Mr. Clark was the repre sentative of a race of Puritan divines, chiefly bearing the Christian name of Samuel, and eminent through many generations. During the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles the First, though opposed to the book of sports, and some other illegal exercises of the royal power, they remained faithful pastors of the Church of England. During the great rebellion they were prominent in that party which, with Baxter, opposed itself to the encroachments of Cromwell, and promoted, though with some misgivings, the Restoration. Upon the passing of the Bartholomew Act in 1662, six members of this family resigned their preferment in the Church, and became, most unwillingly, non-conformists. Forbidden to preach, they attended their successors as hearers, and continued to the end in the communion of the Church of England. In the third generation after the passing of the Bartholomew Act, the sole remaining male of the family, the subject of this memoir, once more graduated in the university of Cambridge, and took Orders in the Church. Besides these his paternal progenitors, Mr. Clark represented the elder coheir of John Hardwick, of Hardwick, and sister to the celebrated Elizabeth of Shrewsbury, the builder of Hardwick Hall and Chatsworth. Mr. Clark was particularly well-suited to the peculiar congregation whom he addressed during so many years. His voice was harmonious, and, though not particularly loud, its enunciation, in the pulpit, was very distinct, and every word was heard. It was a voice that at once arrested the attention, and produced a vivid impression upon the hearers. of the old Chelsea pensioners used to say, it stirred them like the sound of a trumpet. Some His sermons were clear, concise, very practical, and brief, very rarely extending to half an hour. He wrote them, one each week; and before each was preached, it was his practice to read it aloud, and thus to commit most of it to memory. Not unfrequently, however, he departed from what he had written, and some of his most striking applications were thus suggested at the time. ; He always preached for the children now and then, by way of apology for some familiar address, reminding his hearers of this. Turning to the children he would say, "Now, you boys, when by-and-by you are mounting guard alone in some distant country, you will remember what you used to hear at the Asylum;" or, "A great many of you boys will serve the Queen as soldiers in distant countries. You mayn't perhaps be able always to go to church, but it will be hard if you can't find some of your comrades to read the Bible with you in your test. Ye know these things happy are ye if ve do them.""" From the dispersion of the British army his precepts were widely scattered, and numerous were the marks of affection be met with both from those who came back as men to visit the Asyiam, and from the soldiers, who often accosted him in the street. The great originality of his mod was shewn by the manner in which be enforced his meaning by the employment of illustrations, which, though never less grave than beseemed the pulpit, often approached very closely to wit. tary feeling. Thas on Waterloo day he always gave a dinner to the detachment of Guarts on duty at the Asylum; and, as he said, not to neglect his duties as Chaplain, he added a dinner on Christmas day also. He liked to see the medial ca the breasts of his serjeants, and his favourite chapel-serjeant, one of four whe bore the pall at his funeral, was a Waterico man. Though naturally of a warm temper, and somewhat indisposed to brook interference with his proper concerns, and scrupulons to a fault in interfering with those of others, his love of peace was such that he lived above 43 years in uninterrupted harmony with the various officers of the Asylum, and was regarded as the bond of peace amongst them. He was often wont to say how happy he had been in the officers with whom he had served, and, carefully as the temporal concerns of the institution were watched over by its successive heads, he said, “* he never felt that he had a commandant." His own love of order contributed no doubt to this. He was very decidedly a military preacher. Indeed all his elder and tors were old soldiers, and of his younger ones most, socner or later, found their way into the profession of their fathers. Hence loyalty and obedience to orders were often insisted upon in his sermons, and in these respects he set a ready example. When it was decided that he was to retire, a step which, notwithstanding the marks of respect which accompanied it, he felt most keenly, he said, in one of his last addresses, "You"There is only one way," he very often soldiers are to keep pace with the rest of the world. New and competent masters are appointed to instruct you. I too have a part in the good work, and do all that an old man can do in getting out of the way." Sometimes, though rarely at any time, and never in later life, Mr. Clark spoke in public upon the platform of the Bible Society, and especially of the Naval and Military branch of it at Chelsea, and on such occasions he shewed eloquence of a high order. He took little personal interest in the parties and divisions which at various times were rife in the Church, and indeed it would have been difficult to class him under any party. He confined himself, both in his sermons and in his conversation, to the great saving doctrines of Christianity, as best suited to the age, capacities, and temptations of his flock, and most consonant to his own feelings. His enjoyment of life was that of a cheerful contented mind, and superior to that of most men. Not long before his death, he repeated, what he had previously very often declared, "I have passed no day I should not be glad to live over again." Mr. Wilberforce once said to the writer of these lines, "Mr. Clark is one of the happiest men I know; he has the art, in a very remarkable degree, of combining great piety with much enjoyment of the world." He was a man of great personal courage, active, well formed, and proficient in athletic exercises; a most loyal subject, with a constant sense of his sacred office mixed up with a strong mili a said, to live in peace; each must keep his own place, and the commandant be the decided head over all." In every arrangement, even in his own department, it was always, “if the commandant pleases." Even in the distribution of the sacramentmoney, it was his custom to consult the commandant. Mr. Clark was very careful in his speech, and, when he could speak no good of his neighbour, he abstained from speaking evil. His charity was a frame of mind. His manner in society was ordinarily grave, but every now and then came forth a flow of sparkling wit. He was fond of versifying, and of composing little charades and jeu d'esprits for his children and intimate friends, a talent which he inherited from his father. Though kind and open-handed to the poor in distress, and giving alms rather beyond his means, his most vivid sympa. thy was with happiness. He was always on the alert to increase the stock of human pleasure, taking a newspaper, or some little delicacy, perhaps a fowl, or fruit, or wine, to the old schoolmasters and schoolmistresses and subordinates who had retired from the Asylum upon very scanty means. His intercourse with the poor was marked by great tenderness and delicacy. He treated them as equals, often visiting them not so much for their direct instruction or relief by alms, as to con. verse with them, and to shew sympathy with their joys and sorrows. Though very fond of speaking of his time as near, and of himself as an old man, he always retained much of the vivacity of youth, and enjoyed being with the young. For this reason he declined the Chaplaincy of Chelsea Hospital, and to the last his affection for the children of the Asylum was a ruling feeling. In a paper of directions concerning the place of his burial, he writes, "I desire to be buried where the Asylum children lie, and as much as possible in the very midst of them. I have lived amongst them, died amongst them, will be buried amongst them, and, please my blessed Saviour, will rise amongst them, to eternal glory. Let this be upon my grave-stone :-' Here, amongst the lambs of his flock, rest the remains of George Clark, M.A., [43] years Chaplain to the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea. Died [21 January, 1848,] aged [70 years]. What is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at his coming?" " He was a very modest and humble man, careful not to thrust himself forward. "Seeketh not her own," was a quality of charity which he often quoted, and which long influenced his conduct, and latterly rather in excess. He was a man of much prayer. The spirit of God appeared to pervade all his thoughts and actions, and each blessing that he received seemed to be identified in his mind with its heavenly Giver. Death and Heaven were at all times in his contemplation, and latterly he thought of little else, and these themes were often upon his tongue. A short time before his death the Asylum was remodelled, and, though he retained the office of Chaplain, he ceased to reside. He did not long survive the separation from his little flock. He broke rapidly, and in ten months was laid in the place he had chosen for himself. His funeral was military, and was attended by all the inmates of the Asylum, officers and boys, besides many soldiers and pensioners. Although the officers with whom he was associated at the opening of the institution for the most part lived through long terms of service, Mr. Clark survived them all, and at his death was by some years the oldest inhabitant of the place. In Mr. Clark the Government lost a zealous and diligent servant, the inmates of the Asylum a faithful Christian pastor, his friends a cheerful and profitable companion, his family an indulgent, self-denying, and God-fearing parent. JAMES KENDRICK, M.D. F.L.S. Nov. 30. At his residence, Warrington, Lancashire, aged 76, James Kendrick, M.D. F.L,S. the father of the medical profession in that town. He was born in GENT. MAG. VOL. XXIX. Warrington, as were also his father and grandfather, and had spent the whole of his long and useful life in his native place. He received his early education at Burtonwood, a village distant a few miles from Warrington, where is a small endowed grammar school, and from thence he proceeded to the free grammar school in Warrington, then under the mastership of the Rev. Edward Owen, a man of the highest classical attainments, and the learned Annotator of a well-known edition of Juvenal and Persius, with which gentleman in after years he continued on terms of the closest friendship. On leaving school he was articled to Mr. Hankinson of Warrington, a practitioner in surgery of some note in his day, and with him he passed the probationary course of the profession. He first commenced practice in Warrington as a surgeon, which he successfully continued many years, until maturer age induced him to seek the higher branch of medicine. During the early part of Dr. Kendrick's career, he enjoyed peculiar advantages in the society into which he was thrown. He had the good fortune to become personally acquainted with Howard the philanthropist, who made Warrington his residence for several months in each year, during the latter portion of his life, for the purpose of superintending his various works which emanated from the press in that town, and he continued on terms of intimacy with bim until his death. The assistance rendered by Dr. Kendrick in illustrating the period of Howard's life above referred to is acknowledged by his biographer Dr. Brown, in his memoirs of that great and good man. The celebrity of the Warrington press had made that town, moreover, the resort of many other literary personages about the time named. Roscoe, Pennant, Doctors Aikin, Enfield, Percival, Ferriar, and a host of other writers might be mentioned whose works were published towards the close of the last century at Warrington, and into whose society Dr. Kendrick was by that means introduced. Amid this atmosphere of learning and science his mind thus became imbued with a taste for literary pursuits, which continued to the close of life in its full vigour, and manifested itself at all times in the advancement of the means of intellectual improvement in his native town. Dr. Kendrick was on terms of cordial friendship and co-operation with the leading members of the medical body, and, although his position as a practitioner in a country town prevented his name attaining more than limited fame with the world at large, his reputation stood deservedly high with the heads of his pro 2 S fession. The late Dr. Holme of Manchester was one of his earliest and warmest attachments, as were also Dr. Rutter and Mr. Park of Liverpool, and the eccentric but talented Abernethy. He saw these bright ornaments of the age pass one by one from life, surviving the last and dearest, Dr. Holme, so short a space that he was spared the knowledge of his death. Endowed by nature with a remarkably robust constitution, he was able even on the day of his death to undertake his professional duties, and his anxious wish as often expressed by him, "to die quietly at the close of a day's work," was literally fulfilled. He was devotedly attached to his profession, although, it is well known, it was not his original choice, and he attained in it an eminence honourable, as it was his just desert. At the outset of his career, Dr. Kendrick evinced an untiring application and perseverance in the duties of his calling, which soon brought him into notice, and speedily led to the establishment of an extended practice; and, when in after years he made way for the more active energies of junior practitioners, his clear understanding, sound judgment, and profound medical knowledge ever inspired the greatest confidence in his skill. For the long period of half a century at least, he may be truly said to have possessed in an unexampled degree the confidence of those with whom he lived, and in liberal and humane practice he may be safely recorded as having had indeed few equals. Conscientious in the extreme, his professional brethren bear testimony to the uniform integrity of his conduct, and throughout his long career no act of his it is believed incurred the slightest suspicion. Christian benevolence shone forth as a prevailing trait in Dr. Kendrick's character, and as its fruits there exist many local charities and institutions which derive their origin and support from him. To the cause of literature and science, as has been already observed, he was ever foremost to lend a helping hand. In the year 1811 he succeeded with a few others of congenial taste in establishing the first literary and scientific institution in Warrington, of which he was chosen vice-president, and recently, in 1838, he joined in the formation of a society for promoting the study of natural history, of which he was president at the time of his death. He devoted himself at an early period to botanical study, which he cultivated with ardour through life, and he attained to superior knowledge and skill in the science. As a companion Dr. Kendrick was at all times agreeable and instructive. Possessing a well-stored mind, powerful memory, and of a remarkably accessible and communicative disposition, his society could not be otherwise than attractive, and he has left a large circle of acquaintance, young as well as old, with whom his rich conversational humour and fund of anecdotal wit will long remain in pleasing recollection, and by whom his loss in social life cannot but be much felt. On the day of Dr. Kendrick's interment, which took place at the parish church on the sixth of December, every possible mark of respect, public as well as private, was shewn to his memory. The shops and other places of business along the streets through which the funeral passed were all closed, and his remains were followed to their resting place not only by the Corporation and other public authorities, but by all the principal inhabitants of Warrington and the neighbourhood, the members of the medical profession acting as pall-bearers. Dr. Kendrick was married and has left issue two sons, the elder of whom, James, is also a physician in Warrington, and several daughters. There is a clever portrait of the deceased gentleman in the possession of his family, of which a lithograph was published a few years back, and a copy of the portrait is about to be made for the purpose of remaining as a public memorial of him in the Warrington dispensary, which institution he was mainly instrumental in founding, and to which he was at all times a most valuable friend and supporter. WILLIAM DALRYMPLE, ESQ. Dec. 5. In London, aged 75, William Dalrymple, esq. of Norwich, formerly Surgeon of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. He Mr. Dalrymple was a native of Norwich, his father having removed thither from Dumfriesshire, where his family, which was not remotely connected with that of Lord Stair, had long been settled. was born in 1772, and at an early age was sent to the grammar-school at Aylesham, in Norfolk, then under the tuition of Mr. North, and even thus early he evinced so decided an inclination for the profession he afterwards pursued, as to acquire for himself the soubriquet of "the Doctor." From Aylsham he was removed to the free-school at Norwich, where he became a favourite pupil of its then head master, the celebrated Dr. Parr. Here he had for a school-fellow Dr. Maltby, the present Bishop of Durham, and each may be classed amongst those who loved their somewhat tyrannical master more than they feared him. With both, Dr. Parr kept up a friendly intercourse of visits to the latest period of his life. It affords a strong proof of Mr. Dalrymple's early talents and his industry in cultivating them, that, although in accordance with the then custom of requiring medical apprenticeship to extend to seven years, he was obliged to leave school at the age of fourteen, he had yet attained such a proficiency in classical reading and so correct an appreciation of its beauties, that, amidst all the urgent and various occupations and anxieties of his succeeding life, he found the greatest relief to his toils in a recurrence to his favourite authors. His taste was scholarlike as well as scientific; his conversation imbued with classical allusion, and his felicity in quotation remarkable. Mr. Dalrymple was apprenticed in London to Messrs. Devaynes and Hingeston, the Court Apothecaries of that day, and his surgical studies were pursued at the then united hospitals of St. Thomas and Guy's, under those eminent men, the elder Cline and Sir Astley Cooper. From the former, whose name and memory he venerated to his latest day, he received numerous marks of kindness; and with the latter he maintained an uninterrupted friendship throughout his distinguished life. On his return to Norwich in 1793, he opened a surgery in his father's house. For some years his professional progress was slow; for he was no silent advocate of those principles of civil and religious polity, which were at the time we write of very generally considered inconsistent with loyalty and good citizenship, and exposed those who held them to suspicion and injustice. In 1812, after having severely suffered from the neglect and opposition which his political principles had occasioned him, his merits were felt to be such-even by those who had most opposed him-that he was at length invited to become assistant surgeon of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, and in December of that year he was unanimously elected to that office. In 1813 Mr. Dalrymple attracted the attention of the medical profession, by the successful performance of the then very rare operation of placing a ligature upon the common carotid artery. Mr. Cline, Sir Astley Cooper, and other eminent surgeons, came down to Norwich to see and examine the patient when she was convalescent. In 1814 he succeeded to the Surgeoncy of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, vacated by the late Dr. Rigby. His career in this noble institution was marked not less by a devoted industry than by the highest anatomical science and surgical skill. In Lithotomy, the branch of sur gery for which this hospital on account of its great proportion of stone-patients has been more particularly celebrated, Mr. Dalrymple's average of success was higher than that of any other operator, and in other branches of his professional duty he was not less distinguished: his practice was eminently humane, patient, and delicate. His talents and acquirements were now acknowledged by the highest rewards which his native town could offer, and he was successively called on to fill almost every public office connected with his profession which could be bestowed upon him. His private practice had also considerably increased, and on the death of his friend Mr. Martineau, in 1829, he was left without a competitor as a provincial surgeon. His temperament was susceptible, and he had an acute sense of his responsibilities, so that, although slow to spare himself whilst his health permitted, his duties were frequently performed with an overwhelming anxiety; and the incessant call for exertion which his extended practice necessarily induced, told very sensibly on a constitution originally feeble, so that he was at different periods compelled to absent himself from his home and duties, in order to regain health and strength to perform them. A high gratification it must have been to him to witness the interest taken in his behalf, and the cordial satisfaction evinced by his friends and patients when he returned to his labours. His powers at length gave way, and in his 61st year (1839), finding himself no longer equal to his hospital practice, he resigned his position there; receiving a cordial acknowledgment from the governors of "the able, humane, and successful exercise of his official duties," and being honoured by a request to accept the appointment of Honorary Consulting Sur geon. From the commencement to the latest period of his practice, he was engaged in anatomical and pathological researches, the result of which was the formation of a very valuable collection of preparations. In 1844 he finally retired from professional life, and with the most praiseworthy generosity presented the entire contents of his museum to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. This noble gift was gratefully acknowledged by the governors, and the following inscription was placed in the New Museum Room, which had been erected by public subscriptions to receive the collection :- "TO WILLIAM DALRYMPLE, for many years one of the most distinguished surgeons of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, and still in his retirement connected |
