as the only efficient means of extracting poisons. By other inventions he gained several medals from the Royal Agricultural Society; and he was in consequence encouraged to enter into business as a machinist in London.

Enjoying as he did the favour of the most exalted in rank, and possessing the confidence of men of the first station in the medical profession, he was still essentially humble; and, if outward demeanour be any proof of inward sincerity, from the right motive. Seldom when in town was he absent from his accustomed place in the aisle of St. James's church; and when he visited his favourite Horsmonden, he would take his old seat in the gallery of the church, where, when in humbler circumstances, he had been a member of the village choir. Beneath the shade of the venerable tower of that church it was his wish that his earthly remains should repose; and his spirit, let us hope, has become a denizen of those blest abodes where there is no pain and no trouble to need his remedial skill.

MR. G. S. TAYLOR.

Lately. Mr. George Sutherland Taylor, of Golspie.

Mr. Taylor was the confidential local agent of the noble family of Sutherland, and, apart from his laborious duties in that capacity, he applied himself to literary pursuits, particularly to the history, antiquities, and traditions of the North. His success in those studies was greatly promoted and enriched by his having access to the Charter Room of Dunrobin Castle, and the various interesting documents there deposited. He was anxiously meditating a History of the Rebellion of 1715-comparatively little known-and for the illustration of which the depositaries of the Duke of Sutherland had copious and valuable resources, hitherto unexplored. In the last number of the Quarterly Review, various extracts are given from Mr. Taylor's collections relative to the great Montrose. He contributed largely to Mr. Scrope for his work on Deer-stalking,-wrote the articles "Sutherland" and "Zetland" for Mr. Charles Knight's Cyclopædia -and was one of the most valuable assistants in the "New Statistical Account of Scotland." He wrote, for the private gratification of the late Duke and Duchess Countess, the traditions of the county; and was engaged when he died, in the historical account of the family, which is understood to be nearly completed.-(Inverness Courier.)
