their descendants, if such ever existed. The
wealthy and learned together with the Kings
officers, were most likely to possess the
necessary documents and information, but
they were principally of the royal party,
and left the country during that civil war,
carrying their books, papers, and historical
collections with them. What were in the
hands of the people who remained, suffer-
ed greatly by the circumstance of the town
having been so long in the possession of
the British army. during which time houses
were deserted by their owners, with their

Medical Literature of Rhode Island, NTH
a sketch of some of her most eminent men.
The Island of Rhode Island from its sa
lubrily and surprising beauty, before the
Revolutionary War SO sadly defaced it, was
the CHOSEN resort of the rich and the phlo-
sophie, from nearly all parts of the civilized
world. In no spot Of the thirteen, or rather
twelve colonies, was there concentrated
more individual opulence, learning, science,
and liberal leisure. But let us leave round
assertions and attend to facts.
Ia I72S the celebrated Dean Berkeley, af-
terwards Bishop Of Cloyne, arrived at New
port, Or. ~ with four or five opulent and
literary companions, one of whom was a
Baronet. They crossed the Atlantic for the
purpose of erecting College at Bermuda,
chiefly for the conversion and education of
the Indians. They either could not find
that Island, or else they supposed it was in
the vicinity of Rhode-lsland. When they
landed in the southeast part Of the Island +,
they were all armed, in the expectation of
seeing the ndtiUes and when they came
round to the proper harbor, they found a
spacious Town as large as Salem then was,
with several places of worship, and among
them a handsome Church, and large con-
gregs,ion of Episcopalians. Having found
their mistake, they concluded to remain
where they were. Ii was there the cele-
brated Dignatary of the English Church is
said TO have written his immortal work
" The Minute Philosopher" He built
Waite Hall and when he finally returned
home, he gave that structure, with the Farm
annexed to it, together with his Library, TO
Yale College. He gave a fine Organ 10
Trinity Church at Newport, and left mem
orials Of his friendship to some congenial
souls on the Island. IL is not more than
80 years since very aged gentleman OF
Boston, (Shrimpton Hutchinson, ESQ., told
the writer tha, he remembered hearing the
learned Bishop preach at Newport.
About the year I749, John Brett, NJ. ID.
settled OF Newport. A graduate in medi-
cine was very rare thing, any where in
America at that day. He acquired reputa-
ton and consequence from having attended
the Lectures Of the great Boerhaave at Ley
den. Some Of his original notes are now
in possessession Of the writer Coiempora-
~ with him, was DIR. Thomas Rodman,
and with them, Macgrav, of New York, a
physician Of the Radclif school. MEAL
lurgical chemistry was perhaps as vel
known, il not better, al that period, in X
Island, as in any city in the English Colo.
niss.

NEWPORT, Saturday august l4th, 1924.
The following interesting sketch of the
Medical Literature, and eminent men of
RuoDE-IsLAND, during the last century, is
attributed TO the pen of the learned Dr.
WATERmoUsE, late Professor in Cambridge,
Mass. Ut appeared first in the Boston
Medical Inteiigencer. and is remarkable
for the fulness and accuracy of lis details.
To the present inhabitants of NEWPORT it
will afford melancholy pleasure to recur
to the period, when their beautiful Island
was Justly considered The light Of the New
World, and to reflect how largely the whole
Union has been indebted for its subsequent
advancement in literature and wealth, TO
to the exer,ions of the venerable men, whose
worth and attanments are here so faithful
ly described -

States fall, Arts fade-but Nature doth not die
Nor yet forget how VENICE once was dear,
The pleasant place Of all festivity,

the middle aisle hobbled o1t of the church fast

1t was good move for the young men--t enabled
them to press the pretty dears, who said they were
frightened to them, and utter pretty speeches,
in which they appeared pretty heroes. 1t is good
thing but don't make il common-it viii be spoiled

stood with Misses H. A. and X. for bridesmaids, and
Messrs. H. II. and r. for grooms. 1t seemed that
Miss H. A. and Mr.. II. H. were thinking more Of
