translated into French, by one of the French 

 clergy. His last literary production appeared 

 tinder the title of "A Funeral Sermon on the 

 " death of his late most excellent Majesty 

 " George the Fourth, preached at the parish

 " Devon, on the evening of Tuesday, July 15;

I have next to mention the name of one of the 

 Vice-Presidentsof this institution, GEORGE FIELD-^ 

 ING, Esq., a native of Ripponden, in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Halifax : for the last thirty-seven 

 years Mr. Fielding has been in extensive practice 

 in this town, as a surgeon ; but, notwithstanding 

 his professional engagements, he has, during his 

 residence among us, been an active member of 

 various literary associations, and science has, at 

 all times, found in him a zealous supporter. He 

 published, in 1813* a volume of" Surgical Cases 

 "with practical Observations \ y and, in 1822, 

 " A Case of transverse Fracture of the Patella, 

 " in which bony union was procured." In addi- 

 tion to these publications, Mr. Fielding has com- 

 municated Essays, at different times, to various 

 Medical Journals ; viz. one, about thirty years 

 ago, to the London Medical and Physical Journal, 

 "On the use of Digitalis in Hooping-Cough;"* 

 another, which appeared in the second volume of 



* Vol. 5, p. 141.
