OBITUARY. 
To the long list of departed members of our profession 
which last year we had the painful duty to record, we regret 
having now to add the death of Mr. R. Taylor, of Bury St. 
Edmunds. Mr. Taylor had exceeded by a few years the 
allotted period of man’s sojourn in this 6i vale of tears,” having 
reached the seventy-third year of his age. He passed his 
examination in 1804, being then in his twentieth year, and 
immediately afterwards went to reside at Bury, where he 
lived fifty-three years. Few men, in or out of the profession, 
were more highly estimated or more deserving of respect than 
our deceased friend, and none received a greater share of praise 
from all who knew him, for his strict integrity, and high and 
honorable conduct. 
He had before his death been confined to his room for four 
or five months with a complication of diseases, but his con- 
stitution being remarkably strong, he gradually recovered 
from each unfavorable symptom, until at last it was observed 
that the brain had become affected. On the day before 
Christmas day he became perfectly insensible, and was then 
moved into bed, w 7 here he had not been for four months, 
having always night and day sat up in his chair. 
From this comatose state he did not recover, and died 
without the slightest pain on the morning of New Year’s 
day.
