434 MEMOIR OF THE LATE DR THOMAS CHARLES HOPE. 



During the month of May, he was much in bed ; yet even then he took an 

 interest in general conversation, and warmly congratulated me on the termination 

 of my chemical labom-s. 



A few days before his death I saw him for the last time, and although 

 apparently not in suffering, he took leave of me as if we should meet no more. 



He quietly exjiired on the 13th of June 1844, in the 78th year of his age. 



Dr Hope was never married. An excellent portrait of him, by the late 

 Sir Henry Raeburn, which has been engraved, is in the possession of his 

 family : and a fine bust of him by our eminent artist Steell was presented to 

 the University.
