OBITUARY. 
passed his examination January 27th, 1818, and the latter 
July 23d, 1839. 
The profession has also lost another of its members, one 
who was not generally known to belong to it, namely, Mr 
Morley, of “ Morley’s Hotel.” Mr. Morley was likewise a 
graduate of the Royal College of Surgeons, and the Medical 
Times , in noticing his death, says — “We little thought, when 
advocating the establishment of suburban sanatoria in con- 
nexion with our city hospitals, that the governors of one of 
these latter institutions would so soon be enabled to 
carry our wishes into effect ; but only this week St. George’s 
Hospital has been enriched by a bequest of upwards of 
£100,000 for this special purpose. Mr. Morley, the pro- 
prietor of the “ Burlington,” and of the hotel w T hich bears 
his name at Charing-cross, died last week, and has left 
nearly the whole of his property to medical ’charities. In 
the early part of the present century he was a medical 
student at St. George’s Hospital; but he left the pursuit of 
medicine, and became one of the most successful of the 
London hotel-keepers. He had been for many years an 
active governor of St. George’s, Bethlehem, and other hos- 
pitals. He has left £1000 to Liston’s widow; £5000 to the 
surgical department of University College; £5000, the 
interest of which is to support three Fellowships at Uni- 
versity College, each to be held for three years; £1000 to 
St. Mary’s Hospital; £1000 to the Lock; and £500 to Mr. 
Braine, his medical attendant. There are various legacies, 
among which are £50 annually to six widows of St. James’s, 
not recipients of parochial relief. The whole of the 
residue, amounting to upwards of £100,000, is left to found a 
Convalescent Hospital in connexion with St. George’s, 
within seven miles of Hyde-park-corner.” 
Mr. Morley’s Diploma is dated as far back as 1817- May 
we not be permitted to express some little surprise, not 
unmixed with regret, that among the various hospitals, &c., 
to which Mr. Morley has so nobly contributed, we do not 
find any bequest made to the Veterinary Schools or Colleges? 
We perceive that in the Turin Veterinary Journal for 
February is announced the death of Professor Lessona Carlo, 
of an acute pulmonary affection. 
We record this, because the professor was, some years 
since, on account of his contributions to veterinary medicine, 
elected an Honorary Associate of the Veterinary Medical 
Association.
