A few personal relics of Fothergill have been preserved. 

 A good bureau-cabinet is at Ackworth School, with Fother- 

 gill's Diplomas, etc. His gold-headed cane is in Philadelphia ; 

 it bears the initials, J. F., with inscriptions added to record 

 its descent through the James and Morris families. A pair 

 of topaz sleeve-buttons, traditionally said to have been given 

 to Fothergill by a duchess, are in the possession of the College 

 of Physicians in Philadelphia. They are enclosed in a tiny 

 silver vase, and have come through the hands of Dr. Parish 

 of that city, Prof. Geo. B. Wood, Dr. Horatio Wood and 

 Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. An enamelled copper taper-stand, 

 with box for wafers, a silver muffineer, Chinese tea-caddies 

 and a screen are in the possession of Dr. W. E. Fothergill of 

 Manchester. An agate snuff-box is with Mrs. J. Rimington 

 Fothergill of Darlington. W. S. Fothergill of Redcar has 

 silver plate with the doctor's monogram, and a curious 

 earthenware " bear " for pot-pourri. Miss Mabyn Fothergill 

 of Edinburgh holds a Bible, dated 1653, which belonged to 

 Dr. Fothergill's mother, Margaret Hough, and contains entries 

 of his own and his brothers' births. In the same keeping is 

 a blue-ware coffee-pot, and a seal on which is inscribed the 

 Fothergill name in Arabic letters.
