DEATHS.

JANUARY, 1827.

1. At Putney House, aged nearly 80, Hencage Legge, esq. He was born Jan. 7, 1746-7, the only son of the hon. Heneage Legge, baron of the Exchequer, (second son of William first earl of Dartmouth) by Catherine, daughter and coheiress of Jonathan Fogg, esq. merchant of London, and niece of sir John Barnard, lord mayor in 1738. He was married in 1768 to Elizabeth, second daughter of Philip Musgrave, sixth bart. of Edenhall, Cumberland, and aunt of the present sir Phillip-Christopher Musgrave.

- At Cheshunt, Jane Frances, sister of adm. sir Richard Hussey-Bickerton, second bart. of Upwood, Hants. She was the second and youngest daughter of the late rear-adm. sir Richard Bickerton, by Maria-Anne, daughter of Thomas Hussey, of Wrexham, esq.

At Bemerton, in her 84th year,

Mrs. Catherine Thistlethwayte Pelham, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Alex. Thistlethwayte, esq. formerly M.P. for Hants.

2. Aged 38, Eliza, wife of Ferdinand Thomas, esq. of Regent-street.

At the house of his daughter, at Shepperton in Middlesex, of an infiammatory attack brought on by cold, aged 62, John Mason Good, M.D., F. R. S. &c. Dr. Good was born at Epping in Essex, May 25th, 1764, and was descended from a family of great respectability and antiquity at Rumsey, near Southampton, whither his father, a dissenting minister of exemplary character, and considerable literary attainments, removed on the death of his elder brother, and whilst the subject of this memoir was yet an infant. Here, under able parental tuition, his father having married Miss Peyto, the favourite niece of John Mason, A. M. the author of the wellknown treatise on "Self Knowledge," he was introduced into the walks of literature and science. Dr. Good commenced the exercise of the medical profession as a general practitioner at Sudbury in Suffolk, where he married one of the daughters of the late Thomas Fenn, esq. a banker of that place. Sudbury, however, was a field too confined for his talents; and he was induced, in the spring of 1793, to exchange it for the metropolis, where having settled himself in Guilford-street, he gradually rose into celebrity, both as a scholar, and as a medical writer. With a critical knowledge of classical literature, Dr. Good had early in life combined the study of the oriental languages; and, in 1803, he published the first fruits of his philological acquisitions under the title of "Song of Songs; or Sacred Idyls; translated from the original Hebrew, with notes critical and explanatory, 8vo." This version, which offers a new arrangement, is executed in the double form of prose and poetry. The metrical translation is spirited and elegant, and the notes exhibit a large share of taste and erudition. The same year produced his "Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the rev. Alexander Geddes, LL. D. Svo." a work which, while it interests as a highly pleasing and impartially written account ofa very profound scholar and truly original character, impresses us, at the same time, with a full conviction of the writer's sufficiency for the task which he had undertaken as a bibli

cal critic and scholar. Two years after the publication of these memoirs, appeared Dr. Good's very valuable translation of Lucretius, the most elaborate of all his works in the provinces of philology, poetry, and criticism; it is entitled "The Nature of Things, a Didactic Poem, translated from the Latin of Titus Lucretius Carus, accompanied with the original Text, and illustrated with various Prolegomena, and a large body of Notes, Philological and Physiological," 2 vols. 4to. This translation is in blank verse, and, in numerous instances, where the original rises into fervour and inspiration, does credit to Dr. Good's powers of poetical expression. To this, in 1812, succeeded a version of "The Book of Job, literally translated from the original Hebrew, and restored to its natural arrangement; with Notes critical and illustrative, and an introductory Dissertation on its scene, scope, language, author, and era," 8vo. a production which materially augment. ed its author's fame as a student of oriental literature. Dr. Good had at no time suffered his attachment to philological pursuits to interfere with his professional zeal and duties ; and, as a proof of this, we have to record, that, between the years 1795 and 1812, he had produced, besides a voluminous compilation on General Science, not less than seven distinct works in relation to the history, theory, and practice, of medicine. The former was entitled "Pantologia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Words;" in conjunction with Dr. Olinthus Gregory, and Mr. Newton Bosworth, 12 vols. royal 8vo. Of the medical works the following were the titles: -A Dissertation on the Diseases of Prisons and Poorhouses, 8vo. 1795.-On the History of Medicine, so far as it relates to the profession of an Apothecary, 12mo. 1795.-On the best means of maintaining and employing the Poor in Parish Workhouses, 8vo. 1798. Second edition, 1805.-Address to the Members of the College of Surgeons, 8vo. 1800.— Oration on the General Structure and Physiology of Plants, compared with those of Animals, delivered at the Anniversary of the Medical Society, 8vo. 1808.-Essay on Medical Technology (to which the Fothergillian Medal was voted by the council of the Medical Society, of which he became the secretary), 8vo. 1810. He also published in May, 1812, a new edition of

Mason's Self-knowlege, with a Life of the Author, and notes, 12mo. 1812. In the year 1817, there appeared his "Physiological System of Nosology, with a corrected and simplified Nomenclature ;" dedicated by permission to the President and Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians in London. This work, in which the diseases of the animal functions were arranged in classes according to physiological views of those functions, was but the precursor of one still more important and extensive. In the year 1822, Dr. Good published “The Study of Medicine," in four large volumes, 8vo. and a second enlarged edition of it in five volumes, 1825. Beside the works which we have enumerated, Dr. Good, at various times, throughout the course of his literary and medical career, amused himself by some anonymous poetical publications. Two of these were Maria, an Elegiac Ode, 4to. 1786; Triumph of Britain, an Ode, 1803.

2. At his nouse in Lincoln's Inn Fields, aged 76, Henry Cline, esq. F.R.S. His death was occasioned by a gradual bodily decay, consequent upon an intermitting fever under which he had long laboured. During his decline, which was attended with extraordinary emaciation and weakness, he retained his mental powers in a remarkable degree, and possessed a vigour of intellect and liveliness of fancy, and a cheerfulness of disposition which made life desirable. During the active part of his life, he was for a great number of years one of the surgeons of St. Thomas's Hospital, and gave lectures there upon anatomy and surgery; and, by his professional skill, maintained the high character which former surgeons had given to the hospital, and by his talents as a lecturer increased the reputation of its school of anatomy and surgery. He was eminently successful as a private practitioner.
