The Annals of the Royal and Asiatic society bear testimony to the importance of the labours of colonel Lambton, in his measurement of an arc of the meri. dian in India, extending from Cape Comorin, in lat. 8. 23. 10. to a new base line, measured in lat. 21. 6, near the village of Takoorkera, 15 miles S. E. from the city of Ellichpore. It was the intention of colonel Lambton to have extended the arc to Agra, in which case the meridian line would have passed at short distances from Bhopaul, Serange, Nurwur, Gualiar, and Dholpore. Though the measurement of the arc of the meridian was the principal object of the labours of colonel Lambton, he extended his operations to the East and West, and the set of triangles covers great part of the Peninsula of India, defining with the utmost precision the situation of a very great number of principal places in latitude, longitude, and elevation; and affording a sure basis for an amended Geographical Мар. 22.

Mr. Bayley was author of a poem intituled, "Sketches from St. George's Fields'." 26. At his house, at Berkeley, in his 76th year, Edward Jenner, esq. M.D. the discoverer of Vaccination. The doctor not appearing at the breakfast-table about his usual time, on Saturday the 25th, his servant was sent to call him; and found him, lying on the floor, in a severe fit of apoplexy. His nephew, who is of the medical profession, immediately bled him, and another relative rode to Gloucester to fetch Dr. Baron. Dr. B. accompanied by Mr. Shrapnell, surgeon of the South Gloucester militia, hastened to Berkeley. They found the symptoms most formidable, and every effort, which skill could suggest, was employed in vain. The patient continued in a state of total insensibility till about two o'clock on Sunday morning, when he expired. Dr. Jenner was M.D. LL.D. F.R.S. M.V.I.F.&c.; a physician extraordinary to the king, and a magistrate of the county of Gloucester. Nature had given him great genius, vast sagacity, much inclination for, and great ardour in the prosecution of his subjects of Natural History, Physiology, and Pathology. At an early age he was destined to the study of one department of the medical profession, Surgery. In the commencement of his studies, he associated with many eminent characters, Dr. Parry, of Bath, Dr. Hickes, of Gloucester, and Dr. Ludlow, of Corsham, near Bath; and he was honoured with the peculiar friendship and patronage of the late Mr. John Hunter, who, aware of the extraordinary talents of Dr. Jenner, then a pupil, offered to him patronage, connexion, and employment, in his professional and physiological pursuits. Dr. Jenner, however, preferred a residence at his native place, Berkeley, where he acquired both high local reputation, and great estimation among philosophers and medical professors. After some less important communications to the royal society of London (of which he |
