was befides an occafional contributor to the 
Medical Communications of Edinburgh. In 
Mr. B.’s celebrated fyftem of furgery, it is 
his -chief merit that he has reduced the art to 
certain fimple modes, and relieved the ftudent 
from that complicated fyitem which vanity 
-and ignorance had for a long time impofed 
upon the world. He removed that veil of 
afte@ation which covers the works of many 
ef his predeceffors, and feletted with judg- 
ment while he wrote with perfpicuity. While ’ 
he affiduoufly cultivated the fcience which 
was the objeét of his profeffional purfuits, 
Mr. B. direéted no inconfiderable portion of 
his attention to agriculture, and in 1802 he 
publifhed a colleétion of papers relative to 
that fubje& in three volumes oftavo, which 
was the laft produ€tion of his pen. (Fur-
