HENRY REVEL REYNOLDS, M.D. 1745-1811. THIS eminent physician, to whose exertions George III. was greatly indebted, was born in Nottinghamshire on the 26th September, 1745. He is briefly noticed here on account of his having received the rudiments of his education at Beverley, under the justly celebrated and learned Mr. Ward, head master of the Grammar School there. He was the posthumous child of his father, and was sent by his maternal great uncle and godfather to school at Beverley. He was placed, at eighteen, as a commoner in Lincoln College, Oxford, from whence he, with a view to obtain his medical degree sooner, went to Cambridge with a bene decessit, and was admitted, ad eundem, to Trinity College there. From there he proceeded to Edinburgh, and resided there two years, attending a course of studies for that profession to which he was afterwards so distinguished an ornament. In 1768 he returned to Cambridge, where the degree of Bachelor of Medicine being conferred upon him, he went to London, and attended as a pupil at the Middlesex Hospital. In 1773 he took his degree of M.D., and was immediately afterwards elected physician to the Middlesex Hospital. S De soon became the object of particular notice and cecard by 51 ose eminent : hysicians Dr. Huck Fothergill and Sir Riehard Jebb- the high opinion which the latter gentleman had formed of his professional abilities and ersonal character and manners, and the consequent expression of that opinion and recommendation of Dr. Bernolds to his Majesty, were the original cause of his being called into consultation upon the king's malady .n 17×8. Tere he distinguished himself, not more by his professional knowledge than by the acuteness and penetration which he displayed in council; and his talouts were so universally appreciated that in 1797 he was appointed to the honourable office of Physician Extraordinary to the king. In every illness of his majesty Dr. Reynolds' attendance was required, and his public examinations before Parliament are recorded proofs of his high merits as a physician, a gentleman, and a scholar. He fell a sacrifice to his celebrity. A conscientions attendance on the duties of his profession accelerated his death, and he expired on the 23rd of October, 1811, at his residence, in Bedford Square, deeply regretted for his talents, virtues, and professional skill and humanity.
