I delivered to you some time ago, a register of the thermometer at Hawkhill, 



• Dr. John Roebuck was born at Sheffield, in Yorkshire, in the year 17I8 ; and he died in 1794, 

 at 76 years of age, in Scotland, where for many years he had conducted several important manufac- 

 tural concems, of his own establishing, in iron, coal, and chemical productions. His father, being 

 a manufecturer of Sheffield goods, had intended his son for the same occupation ; but from the young 

 man's promising genius, he was induced to give him a more liberal education and profession. After 

 the common grammar school foundation at Sheffield, he was sent to Dr. Doddridge's academy at 

 Northampton, where he pursued his studies with distinguished reputation. Hence Mr. R. was 

 removed to the university of Edinburgh, where having gone through a regular course of studies and 

 practice in physic and chemistry, he next spent some time at the university of Leyden, then in high 

 reputation as a school of medicine. There, after the usual residence and course of trials, lie 

 obtained the degree of m. d., and returned to England about the end of the year 1743. Here Dr. R. 

 first settled and practised as a physician at Birmingham j where hfe afterwards established a laboratory.
