with honour by Mr . W . Situated as he was amongst the hills of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire , at the distance of ten miles from any town , he was very useful as a Surgeon and Apothecary . How he became qualified for this business I cannot say * ; but he was deemed skilful ^ and was generally successful . Though that part of the country is in general very healthy , yet since his death s the want of such a person has been felt by many , who have been obliged ^ at a great expense ^ to obtain the assistance of medical gentlemen from Newport and Cardiff . It was by this profession alone , perhaps , Mr . W . was enabled to live in a respectable manner , and by the exercise of frugality to
leave behind him a decent provision for the education and com * fort of his daughters . In Mr . Winter's Library , I observed many valuable books on the Mathematics ^ Astronomy , Philosophy Natural and Moral , Natural History , Surgery ^ Medicine , and some valuable
volumes on Natural and Revealed Religion ; but I do not recollect to have noticed any complete Exposition of the Scriptures .

CAMBRO-BRITISH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES . [ Continued from page 67 . ] ELLIS ROWLANDS , of Ruthen , in Denbighshire ; from whence he was ejected by the Act of Uniformity . He had been in the habit , it seems , of making little excursions , and preaching
in different places , about the country ; which was no dishonour to his character , but the contrary , as it indicated a desire to be useful , as extensively as possible , and to imitate the conduct of him , who of " all others is most worthy of imitation , and of
whom it is said , that he went about doing good . " At the time of his ejectment he happened to be in Carnarvonshire , and was there hauled out of the pulpit as he was preaching . He appears to have been a very active , laborious , worthy man . After being silenced , he was reduced ( says Calami /) to extreme necessities , and a collection was made for him at Denbigh . His
? The Surgeon at Newport , to whom he was apprenticed , died soon after he was settled with him .
