JAMES MACBRIDE 119 



chra for him, indicates that the writer presumed 

 James Macbride to be well known. 



Born in 1784, he graduated from Yale in 1805 

 and afterwards studied medicine. He then set- 

 tled to practise for a while in Pineville, South 

 Carolina, but later removed to Charleston, where 

 he died of yellow fever in 1817, only thirty- three 

 years old, yet with renown as a doctor and a 

 scientist. 



Botany was clearly his favorite study and his 

 chief writings on this subject are in the Transac- 

 tions of the Linnaean Society.
