During a residence of fifty-six years at Richmond, in Surrey, Sir Davip Dunpas was constantly engaged in the joint duties of a Surgeon and Physician. To a benevolent nature he united a manly He graced by modesty, urbanity, and charity.

He was a classical and a profes- sional Scholar,—and his scientific attainments were rendered applicable to practice by extensive medical knowledge, de- rived from experience. The Profession have sustained a great loss by the death of this virtuous public man; for in every Institution where power is to be exercised, there will be strong temptations among the least worthy, to grasp a brief authority, and to pervert the most sacred public obligations to the narrow ends of vanity or selfishness,—verifying the wise words of the Poet, “¢ And Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread.” THE END.
