 Europe, his society was soug-ht after by 

 penuias of the (irst rank and eniiiieuce in

 Mr. Playfair, he luaiiitaiuecl, in no ordinary 

 degree, the important comnuuiicatiou be-

 lonjf be remembered by those who had the 

 gxjod fortune to enjoy his acquaintance; 

 ^ThiIe ajnou§; a numerous circle of relations 

 and friends the kindness and generosity 

 of his character have rendered his death an 

 irreparable loss. To the poorer classes his 

 professional advice was at all times gratui- 

 tously open; and such was theriisiulerested-

 was uear [so great as the celebrity of his

DR. BATEMAN. 



On the i)th of April, at AA'hitby, in York- 

 shire, in the 43d year of his age, Thomas 

 Bateman, M.D. late of Bloorasbury-square. 

 The health of this excellent and lamented 

 physician had long been in a declining 

 state, and there had for some time been 

 unhappily little prospect of any favourable 

 result, either from the resources of art, op 

 the assiduous and affectionate attentions «f 

 his family. The failure of his bodily pow- 

 ers did not however impair the vigour of 

 his mind, and his wonted cheerfulness con- 

 tinued unabated to the last ; his religious 

 principles supporting him under the ex- 

 pectation and approaca of death. 



In recording his illness and decease, 

 it is impossible not to advert to the loss 

 which his personal connexions aud society 

 at large have thereby sustained. But as 

 a detailed biographical memoir will pro- 

 bably be given of him at some future period, 

 it is sufficient at present to remark, that 

 in his private life he was most exemplary, 

 and in the exercise of his profession he 

 upheld its dignity and usefulness by inde- 

 pendent feeling, integrity of conduct, active 

 benevolence, and extensive learning. Dr. 

 Bateman was higlily gifted for administer- 

 ing to the sick, being acute and accurate 

 in his observation of disease, and prompt 

 and judicious in the treatment of it. His 

 contributions to the medical literature of 

 his country have been no less various than 

 iqjportant ; whilst the zeal and ability with 

 which for many years he performed the 

 arduous services of the Public Dispen- 

 sary, as well as of the House of Recovery, 

 or Fever Hospital, were highly beneficial 

 to those institutions and to the community. 

 Of him then may it with truth be said, that 

 though removed from life at an early period, 

 he has descended full of honour to the 

 grave.
