Jn the Circus, 83, Dr. Falconer, He 
may be truly said to have been one of the 
most distinguished ornaments of this city. 
His extensive stores of profound erudition 
did honour to the university, from whose 
fountain they were derived, ard gave lustre 
to Bath, his chosen residence. His profes- 
sional career was conspicuous for sagacity 
of investigation, and promptitude of appre- 
hension. His practise displayed zeal, which 
knew no abatement ; assiduity, which made 
no partial distinction of persons; liberality, 
which may have moderated his fortune, but 
will embalm his fame. It has been remarked 
by those who were enabled to make the 
comparison, that his manner, and his senten- 
tiousness of pithy observation, especially in 
his later years, bore much resemblance to 
the familiar style and address of Dr. John- 
son. Of Dr. Falconer it may be said pecu- 
liarly, Professions have rarely boasted a 
Practitioner so learned— Learning has rarely 
produced a Professioner so practically use- 
ful. Science is indebted to his pen for many 
yaluable publications.
