A medical man in the East of London, who found time amidst the duties 

 of his anxious and laborious ])rofcssion to prosecute Ijotaiiical studies. 

 He was an active member, and then Master of the Apothecaries' Company. 

 He used all his opportunities, whether as a public man or a ])rivate friend, 

 to develo)) a taste for science. He had a singularly charming manner, 

 v>as utterly free from all vanity or self-love, and ever ready to encourage 

 anything good or true in others. His most useful and admirable in- 

 vention of closely glazed cases for the growth of plants enabled him 

 not only to make his own home beautiful, but to introduce an elevating 

 pleasure into numberless others. The artist has happily represented him 

 with the Wardian case which was such a continual source of pleasure to 

 him at his house at Clapham. He was elected a Fellow of the Linnean 

 Society in 1817-
