OBITUARY. 
Died, on Wednesday, the 17th ult., at Fakenham, Norfolk, 
of disease of the heart, Mr. George Baldwin, M.R.C.V.S., 
aged 77 years. 
Mr. Baldwin had been for many years subject to severe 
attacks of the gout, which at last gave rise to an affection 
of the heart. He was early initiated into the profession, 
having been brought up with his father, who had long prac- 
tised it; and soon after the opening of the Royal Veterinary 
College he became one of the resident pupils of the late 
Professor Coleman, with whom he remained for two years, 
and obtained his diploma 27th October, 1795. Mr. Baldwin 
then went to Fakenham, wdiere he continued, and conducted 
an active and profitable country practice for the long period 
of sixty years, becoming much respected by a large circle of 
friends. His diploma has the signatures of Henry Cline, John 
Abernethy, and Astley Paston Cooper, with Robert Morley, 
Secretary; thus carrying the mind back to the earlier years 
of the College, when the system of instruction was very 
different to what it now is ; and yet there went forth from 
the Institution those well acquainted with the principles of 
their profession, a few, and only a few, of whom now survive 
to tell the eventful tale of years gone by. There are not many 
men who have won for themselves greater respect than our 
deceased friend, or who were in reality more deserving of it. 
“ Then what is life F A smile. 
And then a tear : a breath 
Just drawn, and lost in death.” 
We have likewise to record the death of Mr. Edward 
Yates, of Leeds, w r ho died on the 25th inst., after a few days’ 
illness, in the forty-third year of his age. 
To this also w r e bave to add the death of Mr. Richard 
Smith, of Acton, who had but recently entered on the practice 
his profession.
