Dr. Rigby, a very eminent physician 
who;e long life of exertion, scarcely che¬ 
quered by disease, was closed by an indis- 
pos.tion of eight days, during which the 
public feeling wa= painfully excited, and the 
utmost anxiety evinced about even 7 symptom 
that atiected so valuable a man. He was in 
his 74th year, and since 1762 had spent his 
time in Norwich, in learning and practising 
his profession. By assiduity and rare abilities, 
he raised himself to the highest reputation, 
and no man out of the metropolis ever held 
the confidence of a larger district of country. 
But his professional attainments were not the 
only great parts of his character. After being 
presented with the freedom of the city, he 
was elected alderman. He served the office of 
mayor in 1805; and was during sixteen years 
indefatigable in attending all public meetings, 
directing the management of the poor, ex¬ 
posing abuses, and watching over the pros¬ 
pers y and comfort of his fellow citizens. In 
politics he took, on all important occasions, a 
decided part, and maintained the noble and 
liberal principles which he had imbibed in his 
earlier years. Dr. R. was deeply versed in 
the literature of his day, and possessed of al¬ 
most every branch of science, particularly 
botany and natural history. He was a fellow 
of the Linnsean and Horticultural Societies, 
a member of the Corporation of Surgeons, 
and the Medical Society of London; an hono¬ 
rary member of the Philadelphia Society for 
promoting Agriculture; and was attached to 
many other institutions both foreign and do¬ 
mestic. His philanthropy led him to set on 
foot, in tbs year 1786, a Benevolent Medical 
Society for the Relief of the Widows and 
Orphans of Medical Men in the County, of 
which he was treasurer until his death. Re¬ 
quiring no other relaxation than a change of 
employment, he spent his hours of retirement 
in attending to improvements in agriculture, 
in which he was distinguished. His facility 
in writing was extraordinary; and various 
works will ieave proofs of his genius, ex¬ 
perience and industry. In private life, the 
Doctor was equally great and singular. A 
numerous list of relatives and descendants for 
four generations remain to lament his loss; 
and if the close of his good life was embit¬ 
tered by any feeling, or the calmness with 
which he resigned himself to his sensibly ap¬ 
proaching end for a moment disturbed, itwas 
by the reflection that an amiable widow with 
eight children would survive to need his gui 
dance and protection 1
