GABRIEL ANDRAL. 303 



In 1S2 I, he returned to liis native city, and remained there till his 

 removal to New York, about tliirty years ago. 



His serviees as a teac^lier were so early and so fully retjuiri'd, that, 

 on leaving Sherburne, he virtually relin(iuished the regular praelieo 

 of his profession. On the strength of his reputation in the Medical 

 School, as a student of rare merit and promise, he was, in 181'J, chosen 

 l*rofessor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the Uiuversity 

 of \'ermont. In 1845, he was elected to a similar Professorsliip in 

 Bowdoin College. He subsequently held professorships in Geneva 

 College, and in the Medical School at Castleton, Vt., and for two 

 years was a lecturer at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. 

 During the prime of life, he arranged his courses of lectures at these 

 different institutions, so as to hold several professorships at the same 

 time ; but with increasing years he resigned them successively, and 

 closed his public career by a last course of lectures at Bowdoin Col- 

 lege in 18G1. 



The remainder of his life was passed in retirement with a devotion 

 to his private studies and to general literature, which yielded only 

 and late to growing bodily infirmity. He died on the 14th of October, 

 1875. 



Dr. Sweetser's professional and scientific reputation was high, and 

 it was thoroughly genuine. He had no extraneous attractions of per- 

 son, address, or elocution ; and his modesty never suffered him to push 

 his own claims, or to seek recognition for his own merits. Whatever 

 fame he had was won by native ability, deep thought, hard study, and 

 faithful service. In private life, he was a man of amiable disposition, 

 pure and high principle, and blameless character, most respected and 

 loved by those who knew him best. 



His published works, besides the dissertations already referred to, 

 and numerous addresses, and other occasional pamphlets, are as fol- 

 lows : — 



Treatise on Consumption, 1833 ; Treatise on Digestion and its 

 Disorders, 1837 ; Mental Hygiene, 1843 ; Human Life, 18G7.
