At his houfe, in Leicefter-fields, in the 
55th year of his age, William Crnikthank, 
efq. This eminent furgeon and anatonnt 
was born at Edinburgh, where his father was 
examiner in the excife-office. The earlier 
part of his life was fpent in Scotland, and at 
the « -ge of fourteen he went to the Univerfity 
of Edinburgh, with a view of ftudying di- 
vinity. Peeling, however, a ftrong propen- 
fity for anatomy and phyfic, his defination 
in life was altered, and for eight years he 
paid the moft afliduous attention to thefe ftu- 
dies at the Univerfity of Glafgow. In 1771 
he came to London, and by the recommen- 
dation of Dr. D. Pitcairn, he became librarian 
to the late Dr. Hunter; and here he began 
his conneétion with that eminent anatomif, 
which was the principle means of raifing Mr. 
Cruikfhank to that confpicuous fituation 
which he afterwards fo well fupported. 
During the life of Dr. Hunter, Mr. Cruik- 
fhank became fucceffively his pupil, anato- 
mical afliftant, and partner in anatomy; and on 
the death of that celebrated man, Mr. Cruik- 
thank and Dr. Bailliereceived an addrets from 
a large proportion of Dr. Hunter’s ftudents, 
full of affection and efteem; which induced 
them to continue in Windmill-ftreet the fu- 
perintendance of that anatomical {chool which 
bas produced fomany excellent fcholars. Mr. 
Cruikthank, befides fupporting with great 
reputation his fhare in this undertaking, made 
himfelf known to the world by fome excel- 
Jent publications, which have infured to him 
a high charatter as a perfect anatomif, and 
a very acute and ingenious phyfiologift. In 
1786 he publithed his principal work, the 
Anatomy of the Abjorbent Veffels in the 
Human Body. In this book he not only de- 
monfrated, mm the cleareft manner, the ftrue- 
ture and fituation of thefe veffels, but col- 
leéted, under one point of view, and enriched 
with many valuable obfervations, all that 
was known concerning this important fyftem 
in the human body, great part of which was 
the refult ofthe long and difficult anatomical 
Jabours that were carried on in Dr. Hunter's 
diffeéting room, The merit of this work has 
been fully acknowledged by tranilations into 
foreign languages ; and it forms a fttanding 
book in ev ery anatomical and phyficat li- 
brary. Among the fmaller works of this 
writer, we may mention a paper read to the 
Royal Society of London feveral years ago, 
entitled, Experimentson the Nerves of Living 
Animals, in which is fhewn the important 
fact of the regeneration of nerves, after 
portions of thein have been cut out; il-
