JAMES GREGORY, 227 to Leyden, where he attended the lectures of the celebrated Gobius—the favourite stiident and the immediate successor of the great Boer-haave. Dr. John Gregory died in 1773, before the education of his sou hadbeen completed ; and, according to a previous arrangement, Dr. CuUensucceeded to the Practice of Physic. From this period the Professor-ship of the Institutes of Medicine was kept open, by various means,till 1778, when Dr. Gregory, then only in his twenty-third year, wasappointed to the vacant chair. Although young, he was eminentlyqualified for the situation, from the extent of his acquirements and hisown natural talents. Of this we need no better proof than is aifordedby his text-book, Conspectus Medicinae Theoreticse ad usum Acade-micum, which he published a few years after obtaining the professor-ship, and which procured for its author a high professional characterthroughout Europe.
