had been observed to take place in man under similar circumstances ; this entirely original fact , though not yet confirmed , has not been controverted by succeeding experimentalists . Dr . Parry also gave to £ he world a Treatise on Hydrophobia and Tetanus , in which the histories of these ^ generally fatal diseases are most ably traced from observation . But the greatest and most characteristic work of this eminent philosopher and
physician , is " The Elements of Pathology , " published in 1816 . This exhibits a great system of original and unexampled depth of observation , accuracy of conclusion and abundance of fact and illustration ; it may truly be considered as an almost unparalleled example of -great originality and capacity .
The accounts already inserted of Dr . Parry ' s general genius , demonstrated on a subject not strictly within the pale of professional attention , is enough to prove the extent and versatility of his talents .
To those who enjoyed his society this ^ evidence would be superfluous . At the meetings of that useful and enlightened -body , the JBatli and \ yest-of-Eugland . Agricultural Society , his reasonings , remarks and communications were in the
highest degree instructive , enlightening and entertaining . To his efforts , the high estimation which this Society possesses is not in a small degree referable , and especially to the joint energy and exertions of his most able and excellent brother-in-law , Sir Benjamin Hobhouse , Bart ., lately president of this Institution .
Of the various and general talent and knowledge of Dr . Parry , some proofs have already been afforded in these remarks . They are , however , too f ew to allow of amply expatiating on his general traits , and the limits of this article would not well admit of much more ; still we may add , that his astonishing grasp of
conception on every subject which he considered , amply fulfilled the phrase , " Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit ** He was alike superior in the graver and lighter exercises of the mind ; his ratiocinations , though luxuriant and abundant , seemed
never to be the result of effort or labour ; and Ms moral , conjugal and parental feelings were exemplary . In a continued series of bodily suffering , his Christian resignation was perfect .
Dr . Parry has left two sons : the first , Pr . C . H Parry , of Bath ; the other , the distinguished commander of the late Northern expedition . — Gent . Mag .
