Hartshorne.] ib^ [Oct. 11, 



throughout, from youth to manhood, from manhood to 

 old age, has been in the highest degree prosperous 

 and flattering ; if the most kindly regards, general 

 respect, a wide social and professional influence, a 

 reputation limited only by the bounds of civilization, 

 and the highest positions not political which an individ- 

 ual can attain in this country, may be considered as 

 evincive of prosperity and honour." 



In his own words, also, addressed, in 1853, to a class 

 of medical students, we may set forth the noble mo- 

 tives which animated his life : 



" Do not live solely for yourself. Do not seek 

 wealth, station, influence, merely for your own personal 

 gratification ; but consider them as means for doing 

 good, for spreading benefits around you, and for mak- 

 ing an impression on the world, which, when you are 

 gone to your rewards, will cause grateful recollections 

 to cluster about your memory, and your example to be 

 held up to the young for imitation in all future time." 



So taught, and so lived, he whom, in the full ripening 

 of his days, we have now lost. Truly he was a 

 philosopher, in the old, first meaning of the word : a 

 lover, acquirer and promoter of wisdom ; and, with 

 this, of goodness also. May his memory, and the 

 influence of his example, never pass away from amongst 

 us !
