Pp. 88, 209. Biron Dimfdale was fon of John D. of Theydon Gernon, near Epping, in Effex, and Sufan daughter" of Thomas Bowyer, of Albury-hall, in the parish of Albury, near Hertford. His grandfather, Robert, accompanied William Penn to America in 1684, and took with him his two fons, Jolm and William; but, returning in a few years, fettled at his native village, and was there fuccee led by his eldest son John in the practice of phyfick, which his other fon, William, purfued at Bibops-Stortford. John had eight children, four of whom, Mary, John, William, and Calvert, died young; Sufan and Robert lived to a more advanced age; Thomas the fixth, and Jofeph the feventh, to a late period, the last dying, after a fhort illness, April 26, 1779. Thomas derived his first medical knowleg: from his father, and at St. Thomas's hofpital, under Mr. Symonds, and, on his death, under Mr Girle, commenced his practice at Hertford about 17:4, and married the only daughter of Nathanael Bratley, of Roxford, near that town, an eminent banker in London, and reprefentative of Hertford in four fucceffive parliaments. She died 1744, and left no children. To relieve his mind under this lofs, he voluntarily offered his affiftance to the phyficians and furgeons in the army, under the Duke of Cumberland, and continued with it till after the furrender of Carl fle to the King's forces, when he received the Duke's thanks, and returned to Hertford. In 1746 he married Anne Iles, a relation of his fift wife, and by her fortune, and that which he acquired by the death of the wi dow of Sir John Dinifdale of Hertford, he retired from practice; but, his family becoming numerous, and feven of his ten children being living, he refumed it, and took the degree of M. D. 1761. Having fully fatisfed himself about the new method of treating perfons under inoculation for the fmall-pox, he published his treatife on it in 1776, which was fom circulated all over the Continent, and tranfi (ted into all its languages, not omitting the Ruffian. He concludes with faying that, "although the whole process may have some share in the fuccefs, it, in my opinion, cfifts chiefly in the method of inoculating with recent fluid matter, and the management of the patients at the time of eruption." This proof of his profeffional knowledge occafioned lus being invited to inoculate the Emprefs Catherine and her fon, 1763, of which he gives a particular account in his "Tracts on Inoculation, 1781." His reward for this was an appo ntment of actual counfellor of tate and phyfician to her Imperial Majefty, with an annuity of gool. the rank of a baron of the Roffian empire, to be borne by his eldelt lawtal defcendant in fuccellion, and a black wing

of the Ruffian eagle in a gold shield in the middle of his arms, with the customary helmet, adorned with the harou's coronet, over the thield; to receive im nedistely 10,000l. and 20:0l for traveling-charges, miniature pictures of the Empress and her foo, and the fime title to his fon, to whom the Grand Duke gave a gold fnuff box, richly fet with diamonds. The Baron ino 'culated numbers of people at Petersbarg and Moscow; and, refitting the Emprefs's invitation to refide as her physician in Raffia, he and this fon were admitted to a private audience of Frederick III. King of Pruffia, at Sans Souci, and thence returned to England. In 1779 he loft his fecond wife, who left him feven children. He afterwards married Elizabeth daughter of William Dimfdale, of Bithops-Stortford, who furvives him. He was elected reprefentative of the borough of Hertford 1780; and declined all practice, except for the relief of the poor. He went to Ruffia once more, 1781, to inoculate the prefent Emperor and his brother Conftantine, fons of the Grand Duke; and, as he paffed through Bruffels, the late Emperor, jofeph, received him in private, and wrote in his prefence a letter, which he was to convey to the Empress of Ruthia. In 1790 his fon, Baron Nathanael, was elected for the borough of Hertford, on his refignation and retirement to Bath, for feveral winters, but at Laft he fixed altogether at Hertford, and died, aged 89, Dec. 30, 1800, after an illness of about three weeks. About 17 years ago he felt the fight of one eye declining, having before loit that of the other, but recovered both by the opeFation of the cataract, by Wenzel.

P. 482,a. Mr. Brome was in his 28th year, and gave every promife of being a valuable member of feciety, and a very distinguished artist. His father was originally a linen-draper in the Hay-market, but has, for feveral years, retired, upon an honourably-acquired competency, into Norfolk, where his wife and himself have lived to lament the lofs of their two fons. The eldeft, after having been fettled in a respectable line, and married to an estimable woman, died of a decline about three years ago. The fecond fon, the fubject of this article, was well educited, and, at about 14 years of age, placed as a pupil to Mr. Skelton the engraver. His manners were engaging and attractive; his mind grateful and affectionate, and his conduct correct and manly. As an artift, he gave promife of attaining future eminence. He drew accurately, and engraved in a clear and transparent style. His portrait of Mr. Pitt, from Owen, is well maked, and a strong resemblance. He fame time fince. b-gan a print from a beautiful picture of Contemplation, by Romney, which his premature death prevented his completing

P. 574, a. Mr. John Cushnie, thipmafter, of Aberdeen, died on the 3d of May, in his 73 year. To the honest fincerityand plonnefs of marners characteristic of his profeffion Mr. C. united a generous and truly-henevolent heart. For many years, while poffeffed of a very limited incove, he fill found means to reserve a portion of it for the exercife of charity; and having afterwards acquired a more afAluent fortune, it occafioned no other alteration in his original habits and frugal mode of life than to enlarge the sphere of his therality. Modeft, referved, and perfectly free from oftentation, his charities were only made known by those who were the objects of them; and, having beftowed very confiderable fums in relieving the diftrelles of the poor, particularly du ing the late and prefent calamitous feafons, he has left to posterny a laudable example of extenfive beneficence; for, having neither family nor near relations, the greater part of his fortune is bequeathed amongst the various charitable inftitutions in Aberdeen and its neighbourhood as under: To the Society of Shipmafiers and £.

After he fettled at Newhaven he was chofen captain of a troop of volunteers, whom, the morning after the first contest between the Americans and Britons, at Lexington, he marched away to Botton, 150 miles. He foon after had the rank of colonel, and commanded a body of 1100 men on au expedition to Canada, to furprize Quebec, in which he failed, by trusting a letter to an unknown Indian, who carried it to the lieutenant governor, and, attempting to form the city, received a wound in his 500 leg, but took the command after the death of Montgomery, and drew off the shattered remains of the American army to Crown point. On the approach of Carleton he was appointed to command the American fleet on Lake Champlain, though great 400 complaints of misconduct were lodged a. graft him.
