lecturer, indeed he was well qualified, uniting to a knowledge of his father's theory and experiments, a good elocution, winning addrefs, and a forcibly interefting manner Mr. Cuthbert Clarke had been for many years publisher of "The Aftronomical TideCalendar for Sunderland, Shields, Newcastle, Leith, &c." this, after an accurate furvey of the places for which the tables were adapted, was continued annually by our young philo. fopher, with the most accurate correctness, till the winter of 1796, when other objects engroffing his attention he was induced to difcontinue the publication.

for a

In 1791, he entered into another profeffioal engagement at Sunderland, which continued about two years; and where the cultivation of fome private friendships, and a growing eftimation of his talents and virtues fixed the destiny of his future life. At this time be diftinguished himself by his activity and aflistance in the establishment of a Humane Sciety at that place; for which, and for his fuccefsful treatment of fome cafes of "fufpended animation," he received the thanks of the Committee and was elected an honorary member of the inftitution. His engagement clofed in the fpring of 1793, about which time we find him employed in drawing plans neceffary to the specification of a patent "Machine Rope Manufactory" fince established, on an extenfive fcale, in the neighbourhood of Sunderland. The ftate of dependence to which Mr. C. had been hitherto confined, was deemed unworthy of his talents by fome private friends, who liberally offered to fupport him another winter in Edinburgh for the completion of his medical and chirurgical ftudies. This plan was carried into effect in the October following, and the warm recommendations of Dr. Keith introduced him to the notice and intimacy of feveral of the most eminent profeffors. At Edinburgh he became diffecting pupil to Mr. John Bell, and exerted himself with fuch intelligence and unwearied application in his anatomical Rurfuits, as to gain the approbation, and esteem, and future correfpondence of that able and ingenious profefior. Midwifery too, and other fubjects connected with his profeffional line, obtained a proportionate share of his diligence and obfervation-fo that it may be fairly faid, that nothing was neglected which feemed neceflary to form a character, fitted to practice with fuccefs in a place of fuch confideration, as that, in which his intereft and his inclination feemed now difpofed to fix him..

On his return to Sunderland in March 1794, he commenced practice; and very foon had the fatisfaction to fee himfelf refpectfully fupported. A Difpenfary being on the eve of eftablishment at this time, the folicitation of many of his friends, an honest confcioufness of his own abilities, together with the earnest recommendation of Mr. John Bell, induced him to offer himself as a candi

date for the office of furgeon, to which a numerous and independant fupport fully jus tified his pretenfions. But an oppofition, as unmerited as it was unexpected-over which, however, at this time, it may be beft, perhaps, to draw a veil-had influence enough to defeat his election. The conduct of fome, on that occafion, wounded his fenfibility deeply, and we believe he never, entirely, loft the fenfe of it.

His profeffional avocations did not totally detach his mind from other fcientific purfuits, but rather pointed out a direction in which his combined knowledge of furgery and me chanics might be productive of practical utility. An alteration in the conftruction of the key-tooth-instrument, and an improve ment in the field-tourniquet of M. Savigny were among the fruits of his leifure-hours. The principles upon which they were conftructed, with explanatory drawings, were communicated, amongst other eminent furgeons, to the ingenious Mr. Anthony Carlifle, by whom the former was inferted in "The Medical Facts and Obfervations ;" and the plan of both was received by profeffional men with great approbation. The ufual mode of working pumps, by means of a brake, had, for fome time, attracted his attention; a mode which appeared to him little productive in proportion to the mufcular labour employed. His inventive genius foon pointed out an improvement in the ufe of a curved lever, and making the action the fame with that of rowing, conducing, at once, to the fuperior eafe as well as mufcular power of the perfon fo employed. This was fuccefsfully carried into effect, on board a new fhip, the Archimedes of Sunderland, and an ample account of his plan, with requifite engravings, has been published fince his death, in the "Repertory of Arts." During the conftruction of that ftupendous work, the Caft-Iron Bridge near Sunderland, in the years 1795-6, Mr. C. was, upon different occafions, confulted by the architects, and his opinions generally attend

ed to.

To indulge a favourite amufement, to prefent a token of respect to an intimate friend, and at the fame time to preferve fome veftige of the means by which fo vaft an arch was turned, he was impelled to make a drawing of that elegant structure previous to the In this defign, centre's being taken down. beauty and accuracy were fo intimately blended, that with all the general effect of an excellent picture, every block of iron of which the outward range was compofed, every piece of timber of which the fcaffold ing was framed, and every tier of ftones in either buttrefs might be minutely diftinguilhed. The admiration of all who faw this drawing, and the warm approbation of the gentleman immediately concerned in this noble and ufeful ftructure, induced

[blocks in formation]

him, with fome reluctance, to publish this view, together with another elegant one of the Bridge in its finished ftate. The two beautiful aquatinta plates, with a plan of the fectional parts, now before the public are ample proofs of his ingenuity and minute application, and will remain monuments of his tafte, judgment and general execution, and what must very much enhance the quickness and verfatility of his talents, the writer of this article may add, from his perfonal knowledge, that though he had occafionally practifed drawing with a view to anatomical reprefentation, this was his first attempt at landscape and perfpective.

His character as a man of genius and talents was now fully established, and a rapidlyincreafing practice promifed amply to reward his exertions; when his friends, with extreme concern, faw in him evident fymptoms of a confumption. In the fpring of 1797,thefe appearances alermingly gained ground, and he was urged by his friends, in vain, to try a change of air: his confent could not be obtained until a removal was confidered as no long-radvisable. A conviction of his approaching diffolution long attended him, and under this idea he committed his papers to the flames; amongst which was an anatom'cal work, in which he had made confiderable progrefs. Occafionally the vigour of his genius feemed restored, and his love of fcience to the laft was prevalent with him. A few weeks before his death, in a converfation with fome intimate friends, on the early period Nature had frequently put to the purfuits of artifts, he feelingly obferved," he has pu an indelible ftamp on me."

His illness gained faft upon him at the commencement of 1798, and on the 24th of February he clofed a fhort but ufeful life. to the great regret of numerous admirers of his ingenuity and exertions, many of whom, fympathifing in the fate of departed merit, followed him to the grave.

He was a man of virtue and liberality, with uncommon powers of mind, and with an intenfenefs of application truly wond rful. He excelled in correct delineations of the human figure in its anatomical relations; and his drawings of plans of mechanifm and philofophical apparatus, through all their minute and complicated parts and appearances, were accurate and beautiful. His figure was genteel, his aspect pleafing. His powers of excitability were remarkably energetic: he received impreffions with keen fenfibility-but he gave them back, modified by his own peculiar turn of thinking, with a re-action, at leaft, equally forcible. His mind bearing continually its direction on objects of magnitude and intereft, the turn of his language became proportionably raised, and was, in genera', a ove the colloquial level. In ifcuffing, his eye brightened, his features protuberated, and his whole countenance became ineffably ani. mated. In a word, he was one, in whom an MONTHLY MAG. No. XLI.
