man, and he had besides attained considerable know- 

 ledge of Greek and Italian. 



Few men have ever received, during their lives, 

 so many honourable marks of distinction. Besides 

 those which we have already mentioned, he was 

 chosen member of the Scientific Societies of Flush- 

 ing, Rotterdam, Haarlem, Toulouse, and Manches- 

 ter; and was Foreign Associate of the Royal So- 

 ciety of Medicine of Paris; and on seven different 

 occasions, including those we have named, he car- 

 ried off the prize offered for Essays on Special Sub- 

 jects, by different learned bodies throughout Eu- 

 rope. 



Notwithstanding the ample notices we have fur- 

 nished of many of his literary labours, the reader 

 must understand that we have not presented a full 

 list of them all; nor can we undertake to complete 

 it now, as that would tend considerably to lengthen 

 this memoir. We must refer generally to the ex- 

 cellent sketch of his life by his son, and to his eloge 

 oy Vicq d' Azyr ; as also to Dr Cogan's translation 

 of his work on the Connection between Anatomy 

 and Design; to the Philosophical Transactions, and 

 to the memoirs of the several academies, Dutch, 

 French, Prussian, and Russian, in all of which will 

 be found numerous papers, which have not been 

 published in a separate form. tm
