WATTS, ROBERT, M. D., an eminent New 

 York physician and surgeon, Professor of Anat- 

 omy in the College of Physicians and Sur- 

 geons from 1839 to 1867; born at Fordham, 

 Wotchestcr County, N. Y., in 1812; died in 

 Paris, France, September 8, 1867. He received 

 his rolk-giate education at Columbia College, 

 New York, graduating in 1831, and pursued 

 the study of medicine as a private pupil of Pro- 

 fessor Willard Parker, taking his medical de- 

 gree at the College of Physicians and Surgeons 

 in 1835. While yet an tinder-graduate be was 

 appointed Lecturer on Anatomy at the Ver- 

 mont Medical College, and in 1838 was in- 

 ducted as professor of the same branch there 

 and at Pittstield, Mass. In 1839 he was called 

 to fill the chair of Anatomy in the College of 

 Phy>icians and Surgeons, in which position 

 ho continued till his death. During all this 

 period he was extensively engaged in private 

 practice, and since 1859 was one of the at- 

 tending physicians of the Nursery and Child's 

 Hospital. He had previously been connected 

 with several of the other medical charities of 

 the city. lie was also one of the founders of 

 the New York Pathological Society, and for 

 several years its presiding officer. He was a 

 thorough and critical scholar, but, owing in 

 part to his sensitiveness to appearing before the 

 public as: an author, and in part to his always 

 feeble health, he had published very little. 

 ports of cases, essays on anatomical subjects, 

 occasionally able- articles in tho medical period- 

 icals and the revising and editing, with abun- 

 dant notes, of some of the manuals of his own 

 department of the. profession, constitute the 

 principal memorials he has left behind him of 

 oil accurate and extensive scholarship. He 

 had sutl'ered, for more than a year, with deep- 

 seated organic disease, and had gone to Europe 

 in the vain hope of mitigation of his disorder.

death of his father. Repairing to NY-.v Haven, 

 Connecticut, lie became a pupil of -Judge Chaun- 

 oey, under wlioye tuition he soon obtained ad- 

 mission to tho bar. Returning to his i 

 place, he commenced practising law, and his 

 admitted talents soon won tor him a large and 

 lucrative practice. Brought before tho public 

 in a prominent manner by his profession, it was 

 not long before he entered into politics, and, 

 after a lapse of three or four years ho was re- 

 turned to the State Legislature by the oppo- 

 nents of the "Relief Law," which had then pro- 

 duced considerable excitement and opposition 

 throughout Georgia. The ability he displayed 

 as a legislator obtained for him a reelection, 

 and he would have been returned a third time 

 had ho not positively declined to become a can- 

 didate. He was then chosen mayor of Savan- 

 nah, and in 1824 was elected one of the Judges 

 of the Supreme Court of Georgia by the Legis- 

 lature of that State. As a Judge the deceased 

 gave general satisfaction, and was known in 

 his State as an upright, impartial, and able 

 jurist, many of his decisions being even now ac- 

 cepted as law in his State. He presided in the 

 Supreme Court for five and a half years, when 

 he resigned, to take his seat in Congress, to 

 which he had bten elected in 1829. As a 

 member of the House of Representatives, Judge 

 Wayne held a great reputation. A fluent de- 

 bater and a learned jurist, ho soon took the 

 highest position. While admitting the con- 

 stitutionality of protection, he earnestly favored 

 free trade, as being of sterling benefit to the 

 country. He was very determined in his op- 

 position to the rechartering of the United 

 States Bank, claiming that while it could be 

 constitutionally established, it conferred dan- 

 gerous political powers in the hands of a feu- 

 men. One of the ablest speeches on this sub- 

 as delivered by him on the 13th of March, 

 1832. During the same year the celebrated nul- 

 lification laws of South Carolina were p. 

 and in his annual message in December i 



'ackson mentioned tho opposition of that 

 State, and designated it as endangering the 

 integrity of the Union. Throughout th;
