434 MEMOIR OF THE LATE DR THOMAS CHARLES HOPE. 
During the month of May, he was much in bed ; yet even then he took an 
interest in general conversation, and warmly congratulated me on the termination 
of my chemical labours. 
A few days before his death I saw him for the last time, and although 
apparently not in suffering, he took leave of me as if we should meet no more. 
He quietly expired on the 13th of June 1844, in the 78th year of his age. 
Dr Hore was never married. An excellent portrait of him, by the late 
Sir Henry Raxrpurn, which has been engraved, is in the possession of his 
family; anda fine bust of him by our eminent artist STEELL was presented to 
the University. ;
