ders of childrens weté scarcely namedin the 
books of medicine. A similarity of pursuits 
and opinions produced a connexion between 
Dr. Osbornand Dr. Denman, which led to 
their association, in a plan of opening a 
scheol in London, for teaching these subjccts 
in an extended way, and rescuing the prac- 
tice from ignorance and temerity. The ce- 
lébrity which they both acquiredis a strong” 
proof of their fitness for the undertaking, and 
their lectures were attended by some of the 
most celebrated men in every coyntry in the 
world. To the combined infltience and ex- 
ertions of Dr. William Hunter, Dr. Osborn, 
and Dr. Denman, it has been owing, that the 
practice of midwifery has been ameliorated, 
and a better knowledge of the diseases of 
women and children has been acquired 
In the year 1785, Dr. Osborn and Dr. Denman 
associated their former pupil Dr. Clarke with 
them in teaching. In.the following year, Dr. 
Denman retired, andthe school was continued 
ad many years by Dr. Osborn and Dr. Clarke. 
. Osborm soon rose to great ¢minenge in 
is profession, for which he was not more 
qualified by the powers of his mind, than by 
a peculiar urbanity of manners, and deport- 
ment, which falls to the lot of very few, 
and by a disposition naturally tender and hu- 
mane. The extent of his practice, and the 
time which he devoted to study, d’d not 
Jeave him much leisure for writing. He has 
however left behind him a work of great 
ractical utility, in a volume of essays on 
Natural and Laborious Parturition, which 
whether the mannet of treating the subject 
be considered, or the elegance and perspicuity 
of the style, will rank him among the best 
medical writers in the English language. 
‘The fatigue hecessarjly atrenfarit on a Te. 
porious profession, slowly impaired his con- 
stitution, and broyght on complaints of the 
stomach, and palpitation of the heart, so as 
to induce him about the year 1800, to retire 
to his estate at Old Park, near Dover, where 
he acted as a magistrate for the coun- 
ty of Kent, and was always ready to af- 
ford medical assistance to the poor in 
his own neighbourhood. Here he lived in 
learned leisure, in the bosom of his family. 
About two months. before his death the 
symptoms of great debility in the stomach 
rapidly increased ; the disease about his heart 
was very uch aggravated, and he was well 
aware they would terminate fatally. He 
Jouked forward to his death, with great com- 
posure and resignation, and with the hum- 
ble confidence of a christian, He retained 
the powers of his mind, and the vivacity of 
~ his disposition to the last moments of his 
lite, and died almost without a struggle. 
The whole tenor of his hife was useful to so- 
siety, and his death was enviable.
