collection of anatomical preparations, which, 
founded originally by himself, had been greatly 
enlarged by his son, the late Dr. Thomas 
White, during the course of his studies in 
London and Edinburgh. This Museum he 
presented, some years since, to the Lying-in 
Hospital ; a charity, of which he may be re- 
garded as the founder, and of which he was 
always a most zealous advocate. 
In the year 1783, it was proposed, in this 
society, to form an institution, upon a plan, 
which has, since, been successfully and most 
advantageously established in London, for 
the delivery of lectures on several bran-

aided by his son, Dr. White, undertook the 
anatomical department; and filled the situa- 
tion in a manner highly creditable to him. 
He had qualifications, indeed, which, in a 
public school of medicine, would have raised

agreeable voice, and a distinct articulation; 
and a countenance enlivened by the interest
