horn at Dunse, Berwickshire, 1724. After serv-t

and settled s a ph ran in London‘; where, how-
ever, he principally supported himself by writing
for the booksellers. In 1758 he pub ed a trans-

same year he printed ‘An Essay on XVest India
Diseases.’ After a short residence in England, he
returned to St. Christopher’s,wliere he resumed
practice. He died at Basseterre 24 Dec., 1767.
