SETTLEMENT IN LONDON. 41 



and Physiology at the London Hospital, where he continued 

 to lecture for the next twelve years. He settled in a small 

 house in Stoke Newington, which he exchanged shortly 

 after for a more convenient residence near the Regent's 

 Park. The usual home life went on without interruption, 

 broken only by occasional excursions to various parts of 

 the country for courses of popular lectures on Natural 

 History. The constant toil of production must be kept up, 

 and in 1846 appeared a " Manual of Physiology," in which 

 the doctrines of the larger treatises were condensed. He 

 continued to contribute to the British and Foreign Medical 

 Review, of which he became editor in 1847, on the retire- 

 ment of Dr. Forbes, who warmly expressed his great 

 indebtedness to him for his ever-ready aid. For the next 

 five years he bestowed upon it a large amount of time and 

 energy ; besides his general supervision, he wrote numerous 

 articles for it, on a still wider range of subjects than he had 

 hitherto discussed. Another post was conferred on him in 

 1847 by his election to the Examinership in Physiology 

 and Comparative Anatomy in the University of London ; 

 and when the Fullerian Professorship at the Royal Listitu- 

 tion expired in the same year, the trustees of the British 

 Museum designated him for the Swiney Lectureship on 

 Geology. This list may be completed by the record of his 

 succession, in 1849, to the chair of Medical Jurisprudence 

 in University College; and, in 1852, to the Principalship 

 of University Hall. 



These different appointments brought Dr. Carpenter 

 into connection with a larger circle of friends engaged in 

 kindred pursuits, and enabled him to form ties which were 

 severed only by death. With Dr. Sharpey, Professor of 

 Physiology in University College, with Mr. (now Sir James) 

 Paget, Dr. (now Sir Joseph) Hooker, and Mr. George Busk, 

 he remained always in relations of cherished intimacy. Mr.
