school of medicine in Europe, while the lat-
ter attracted many pupils in consequence
of the celebrity of some of its professors.
Preferring an active to a sedentary life,
at the age of 23, Mr. Farquhar obtained
the situation of surgeon's-mate to the
19th regiment of foot, which he accom-
panied to the siege of Bellisle.
It was

his good fortune, on this occasion, to
attend on Lord Howe, who commanded
the naval expedition. He cured his
lordship of a slight wound, and was ever
after noticed and supported by that
nobleman.

On his arrival, soon after, with his
regiment at Gibraltar, Mr. Farquhar
readily perceived the advantages arising
out of an enlightened and extended edu-
cation. France having, at that period,
acquired a high reputation for surgery,
he determined, if possible, to repair
thither. Application was accordingly
made to his commanding officer, the late
Lieut.-general, then Col. Townshend,
who granted him leave of absence, for
the express purpose of fulfilling a mis-
sion so worthy of his professional cha-
racter. At Rouen, he not only obtained
the notice, but actually resided with the
celebrated Le Cat, who, at that period,
superintended the hospital there. He
next repaired to Paris, and lived in con-
stant intercourse with all the first medi-
cal men in that capital. He was by this
time advanced to the rank of surgeon,
and such was his high reputation, on his
return to head-quarters, that he was con-
sulted on every singular or difficult case
that occurred in the garrison.

Like his predecessor, Sir J. Pringle,
who had also been an army-surgeon, he
was determined to resign all connexions
with his regiment, and offer himself a
candidate for practice in the capital.
He accordingly repaired to London, but
did not at first assume the character of a
physician. Indeed, he remained many
years without a degree, and being settled
in Marlborough-street, soon obtained a
most lucrative and extensive practice.
Fortune was now within his grasp, or
rather in his possession; and yet he de-
termined to risk every thing, by enter-
ing on a new but more profitable branch
of his profession. He accordingly ob-
tained a doctor's degree, and practised
for many years as a licenciate of the
College of Physicians. In this career
he soon obtained considerable eminence;
and as it was his good fortune to attend
and to cure both Mr. Pitt and Mr.
Dundas, while afflicted with slight ma-
ladies, this circumstance added not a

little to his reputation, so that he now
became popular. To the first Lord
Melville, whom we have just mentioned,
he was indebted for the rank and title of
a baronet; but if we are not mistaken
greatly, it was Sir John Macpherson,
late governor-general of India, who pre-
sented him to his present Majesty, while
Prince of Wales; this led to the ap-
pointment of physician to the Regent,
who became his patient.

Sir Walter Farquhar, in 1807, when
the College of Physicians applied to the
College of Surgeons for information, to
enable them to fulfil, in the most com-
prehensive manner, the commands of
government; Sir Walter, among others,
was applied to for his opinion on this
subject. To the question—"To en-
quire into the present state of inocula-
tion in the United Kingdom; to report
observations and opinions on that
practice upon the evidence adduced in
its support; and upon the cases which
have further retarded its general adop-
tion;" he replied as follows: "That one
of his grand-children was inoculated
with the cow-pox. He is of opinion that
the vaccine inoculation is a permanent
security against variolous infection, and
it never has proved fatal. The general
computation of the mortality of the
small-pox, when performed in the best
manner, is about one in 300."

In 1813, Sir Walter Farquhar began
to think of retiring from practice, in
consequence of an affection of his lungs,
which he alleviated by means of phle-
botomy, in express opposition to the
opinion of all his physicians. After this
he continued to visit his friends until a
little before his death, which occurred
in December, 1819.

The subject of this memoir, soon after
settling in London, married Mrs. Har-
vie, whose husband had been a physician
of some eminence in Jamaica. By this
lady he had several sons and daughters.

One of the former is a banker in St.
James's street, while another is Gover-
nor of the Island of Mauritius, has ac-
quired great praise, by his meritorious

conduct.

FRANCISCO, Henry, at White-
hall, near New York, aged 134 years,
after an illness of 45 days. He was a
native of England, and had emigrated 80
or 90 years ago. He was one of the
drummers at Queen Anne's coronation.

G.

GREEN, Thomas, Esq. October 14,
after a few days illness, at his residence

in Blenheim-street, Bond-street. This
very amiable and intelligent young gen-
tleman was the son of a respectable sur.
geon at Woburn in Bedfordshire. He
received and profited by a liberal educa-
tion; and, to facilitate his progress in the
study of surgery, was placed by his ex-
cellent father with an eminent physician,
in the metropolis, during which period
he was appointed to attend as an assist-
ant-surgeon at the Middlesex Hospital.
A short time subsequent to this, Mr. Green
was, upon the recommendation of Sir
William Adams, (whose kind encou-
ragement of all meritorious and talented
individuals deserves the highest praise,)
constituted assistant-surgeon to the Oph-
thalmic Hospital; in which employment
he had been only a few months occupied,
when he was seized with a sudden and
dangerous illness, which in a few days
deprived the public of his valuable ser-
vices. To a competent skill in his pro-
fession, he superadded a degree of taste
for elegant literature, not often to be
met with in persons engaged in the more
grave professions.

Mr. Thomas Green's general intelli-
gence, and gentlemanlike demeanor, had
endeared him to a large and respectable
circle of friends, by whom his memory
will be long and affectionately che-
rished.

Should our readers require any apology
for the introduction of this brief notice
of a private individual, it may, perhaps,
be sufficient to mention that the subject
of it was the personal friend of the editor
of this volume, and as such may be con-
sidered as having some claim to a

"passing paragraph of praise,"
in a work devoted to the record of many
more eminent, but few more amiable,
members of society than Mr. Green.

HAYTI, Christophe, KING OF,
alias Henry I., Oct. 8. at Sans Souci,
in the 53d year of his age.
A re-
volution was formed by seven of
the chiefs, but so secret was it kept,
that not a single person knew of it
until it broke out, which was on the
night of the 6th Oct. On that evening
they assembled all the troops in the
town, and marched them out to Haut-
du-Cape, distant from this about five
miles. Immediately on the King's
hearing it, which was by an express, he
sent from Sans Souci, (where he lay
very sick,) to give certain orders to the
governor, which express was sent back
to acquaint the King that they no
longer acknowledged him as their ruler.
He sent for his favourite chief, with
orders to collect all the force possible,
and to march against the rebels; and, on
their arrival at the Cape, to murder
every mulatto and white, without ex-
ception; but, previous to their leaving
Sans Souci, he ordered them into his
presence, and flattered them very much,
gave them four dollars each, and pro-
mised them, if they succeeded in their
expedition, that they might pillage the
Cape, and that their situations should be
made as comfortable as they could wish.
In the mean time the Independents pre-
pared themselves for action. On the
arrival of the King's troops at Haut-du-
Cape, on the 8th, where the Independent
army were stationed, several skirmishes
took place; but the Independents, not
wishing that any blood should be spilled,
hoisted the white flag; and, immediately
the King's troops saw that, they laid
down their arms, and came over. Their
chief (Duke Fort Royal) seeing the
troops abandon him, fled, but has since
been taken prisoner. The King, find-
ing the troops under the command of
the Duke Fort Royal, which consisted
of all the force he had at Sans Souci,

excepting his body guard, had gone over
to the Independents, and seeing there
was no chance of escaping, as it would
have taken considerable time to have
collected another force, shot himself
through the heart at about 11 o'clock at
night. Since his death the different
armies have joined the cause without
firing a shot. When the soldiers pillaged
the palace at Sans Souci, they found
240,000 dollars, or thereabouts.

The

Christophe was born in the island of
St. Christopher, one of the Windward
Islands. He was conveyed to the Cape
(Français) when the French took that
island from the English in 1780. He
was then sold as a servant, being about
12 years of age. His master taught him
the art of cookery, in which he excelled.
In 1789, he was purveyor and cook of
the Crown tavern and hotel, kept in
Spanish-street, at the Cape, by Miss
Montgeon, to whom he belonged.
revolution made Christophe the ring-
leader of revolts, and he discovered
some military talents under Touissant
Louver ure. In 1802, he betrayed
General Leclerc, who had confided to
him the command of a division at the
advanced posts; and at the death of
Dessalines, he grasped the supreme
authority, and assumed the appellation
of King Henry. His ferocity caused
him to be dreaded, and, in time, power-
ful instructed in military tactics by
European officers, he established the
bulwark of his forces and of his power
in the estates of Grandpre, Milloland
Dubreuil, in the quarter of the Bonnet,
and the Tannery, the best military posi-
tion, and the most commanding in the
plain of the Cape. There he built Sans
Souci, a delightful retreat, and a sort of
town, defended by numerous forts and
redoubts.

Whatever may be said of the cruelty
and despotic conduct of Christophe, yet
he must be regarded, under all the
peculiarities of his situation, as a being
of extraordinary enterprise, decision, and
energy. In almost every town in his
dominions, he established a school on the
system of Bell and Lancaster, where
the male children were gratuitously in-
structed in English and French, and in
arithmetic ; and one of his favourite
objects was to establish the English
language as that of his subjects. The
country was divided according to the
French system, into arrondissements, of
which the number was twelve.
administration of justice was regularly
provided for, and on great occasions the

The

council of state acted as a military tribu-
nal. The military establishment was very
numerous and efficient, comprising 20
regiments of infantry, two of cavalry,
and two of artillery. Besides this force,
there were the royal guards, splendidly
equipped, and a regiment of women,
called the Amazons, of which the Queen
was colonel. The royal calendar is-
sued for the use of the court, contains
no less than 147 pages, neatly printed.
It gives not only the names of the
ministers, but subjoined to them are
short notices, in which the duties of their
several offices are summed up. The
appearance of the court was not destitute
of splendour, although rather tawdry
than elegant.

Christophe was not unconscious of
the hatred which was felt towards him in
consequence of his extreme and cruel
rigour. He once observed to a distin-
guished British officer, that he knew he
was considered a tyrant, but that it
was necessary to be so; the people
would be more fit for liberty hereafter.
With his usual arbitrary violence he
introduced marriage, which was almost
unknown, by making a tour of his ter-
ritories with his archbishop, and com-
pelling couples to be united in matri-
mony. His vigilance and activity were
as remarkable as his unrelenting seve-
rity to all who incurred his displeasure.
No persons in authority, either civil or
military, were ever secure from his
visits; and it was never known to
what point his rapid movements were
directed. He had amassed immense
treasure at Sans Souci, which was ra-
pidly improving; and had also collected
there large stores of provisions.

HUNLOKE, the Dowager Lady,
January 22. in Saville Row, was the
sister of Mr. Coke, of Holkham, and
the relict of Sir Henry Hunloke, an
ancient baronet, and connected by
blood and alliance with many noble
houses; but those adventitious circum-
stances were forgotten in the influence
of her personal character. With all the
lighter accomplishments of her sex and
station, she combined powers of mind
that wanted, perhaps, but the stimulus
they might have had in a less elevated
rank, to produce permanent memorials
of their existence. She was acquainted
with the Latin classics, and had a facile
possession of all the polite languages
of Europe, and there were few subjects
which her active intelligence did not
embrace. Such endowments were un-
alloyed by any tincture of pedantry, and

KETTLEWELL, Lumley, Esq.
At the close of the year 1819, termin-
ated the singular life of Lumley Ket-
tlewell, Esq., of Clementhorpe, near
York. He died of wretched voluntary
privation, poverty, cold, filth, and per-
sonal neglect, in obscure lodgings, in
the street called the Pavement (whither
he had removed from his own house a lit-
tle while before), about 70 years of age.
His fortune, manners, and education had
made him a gentleman; but from some
unaccountable bias in the middle of life,
he renounced the world, its comforts,
pleasures, and honors for the life of a
hermit. His person was delicate, rather
below the middle size, and capable of
great exertion and activity. His coun-
tenance, singularly refined and scientific,
reminded us of a French alchymist of
the middle ages. His dress was mean,
squalid, tattered, and composed of the
most opposite and incongruous garments;
sometimes a fur cap with a ball room
coat (bought at an old-clothes' shop), and
hussar boots; at another time a high-
crowned London hat, with a coat or
jacket of oilskin, finished off with the
torn remains of black silk stockings,
and so forth. His manners were po-
lished, soft, and gentlemanly, like those
of Chesterfield, and the old court. Early
in life he shone in the sports of the field;
and he kept blood horses and game dogs
to the last but the former he invariably
starved to death, or put such rough,
crude, and strange provender before
them, that they gradually declined into so
low a condition, that the ensuing winter
never failed to terminate their career,
and their places were as regularly sup-
plied by a fresh stud. The dogs also
were in such a plight that they were
scarcely able to go about in search of
food in the shambles or on the dung-
hills. A fox was usually one of his in-
mates; and he had Muscovy ducks, and
a brown Maltese ass, of an uncommon
size, which shared the fate of his horses,

warmth. All these animals inhabited
the same house with himself, and they
were his only companions; for no mor.
tal, (i. e. human being) was allowed to
enter that mysterious mansion.
The
front door was strongly barricadoed
within, and he always entered by the
garden, which communicated with the
Clementhorpe fields, and thence climbed
up by a ladder into a small aperture that
had once been a window. He did not
sleep in a bed, but in a potter's crate
filled with hay, into which he crept about
three or four o'clock in the morning,
and came out again about noon the fol-
lowing day. His money used to be laid
about in his window-seats, and on his ta-
bles; and, from the grease it had con-
tracted by its transient lodgment in his
breeches pockets, the bank notes were
once or twice devoured by rats. His
own aliment was most strange and un-
inviting; vinegar and water his bever-
age; cocks' heads, with their wattles
and combs, baked on a pudding of bran
and treacle, formed his most dainty dish;
occasionally he treated himself with rab-
bits' feet; he liked tea and coffee, but
these were indulgences too great for
every day. He read and wrote at all hours
not occupied with the care of the aforesaid
numerous domestic animals, and what he
called the sports of the field. His integrity
was spotless; his word at all times being
equal to other men's bonds.
He pro-
fessed no religion. He used to carry
about with him a large sponge, and on
long walks or rides he would now and
then stop, dip the sponge in water, and
soak the top of his head with it, saying
it refreshed him far more than food or
wine. He admitted no visitor whatever
at his own house; but sometimes went
to see any person of whose genius or
eccentricity he had conceived an interest-
ing opinion; and he liked on these vi-
sits to be treated with a cup of tea or
coffee, books, and a pen and ink; he
then sat down close to the fire, rested
his elbows on his knee, and, almost in a
double posture, would read till morning,
or make extracts of passages peculiarly
striking to him. His favourite subjects
were the pedigree of blood-horses, the
writings of freethinkers, chemistry, and
natural history.
