during that time, particularly that of parochial surgeon t(St. Mary’s, Islington, in which office his duties latterly werlvery arduous. He was stricken down while engaged itthem by an attack of apoplexy. It was then thought neces.sary that Dr. Ede should retire from active life, which hIdid in October, 1875, but did not long enjoy his retirementHis health being completely shattered, he sank to rest orthe 24th of March, 1877, and was buried at Christchurch,Bexley.heath, Kent.

Dr. Ede’s death will be greatly regretted not only by s

large circle of old patients, both rich and poor, to whom he wa,endeared by many years of professional service, but also by aconsiderable circle of professional friends. He was a goodpractitioner. The field of practice enjoyed in his public ap.pointments, and especially in that of medical officer to thEIslington Workhouse, was large and various. And it waefully appreciated by Dr. Ede, who did many good andcreditable acts of surgery, including the successful ligatureof the external iliac artery, of which he gave an account inTHE LANCET of 1858. When he felt it necessary to retire hedid so with expressions of the highest respect from theguardians and from the local press. The guardians recom-mended to the Local Government Board that he should havethe highest superannuation allowance permitted by the law,which he ha,d certainly earned by twenty-seven years ofclose and effective duty. The love of work survived hispower of working, and this was a trial to him; but, like hisother trials, it was borne meekly and patiently.

WILLIAM CARR, F.R.C.S.MR. CARR, of Blackheath, whose lamented death we re-

corded last week, had a large and lucrative practice, to whichhe devoted great energy. When a student he worked hard tofit himself for the responsible duties of medical practice, andin after-life embraced every opportunity of increasing hiscompetency to alleviate human suffering. As a practitionerhe was careful and painstaking, accurate in diagnosis, andskilful in the management of his patients. The poor foundhim as attentive and ready to help them as did the rich,and, preferring duty to his own personal comfort, he laidhimself out to work thoroughly. His patients were hisfriends, and they found in him a counsellor whose advicewas sought on all occasions and subjects. When the Dukeof Connaught resided at Blackheath, Mr. Carr was honouredby being appointed his private physician, and after a severeillness of the Prince, the Queen sent an autograph letterto the Doctor, thanking him for his kindness and attentionto her son.Mr. Carr was greatly interested in medical education, and

medical students found in him a trusty adviser, encourag-ing them in their studies, and rejoicing in their successes.His energy was especially evidenced by the deep interest hetook in the affairs of the Royal Medical Benevolent Collegeat Epsom. For many years he laboured hard to support thisworthy institution; and he collected more than two thou-sand pounds to found scholarships for its pupils at

University College Hospital. He was a great lover offlowers, and was rarely, if ever, to be seen without a bouquetin his button-hole. He was a botanist, and greatly in-terested in diffusing knowledge amongst gardeners ; for thispurpose he delivered lectures on botany in the WorkingMen’s Institute; he was also president of the HorticulturalSociety. He was a Conservative and a Churchman ; a manof strong religious faith, but one who strove to make hisoutward life an embodiment of his inward conviction, andhe did not strive in vain.In 1865, when the cases, now almost forgotten, of Gibson

and Dily were exciting the public indignation against thestate of the Metropolitan Workhouse Infirmaries, Mr. Carrwas appointed by Mr. Farnall (the Inspector of the Poor-law Bja.rd, who conducted the inquiry) as his Medical As-sessor. Shortly afterwards he was associated with the lateDr. Amtie and others as one of the THE LANCET Commis-sion fc’l’ inquiry into the state of the Infirmaries. It wasgreatly due to the astounding revelations made by thosegeotktiien, in their able and laborious repert, that thepreset amelioration of the lot of the aged and sick poor ofthe London workhouses was made.Mr. Carr was widely known in the profession, and as

generally respected. His loss will be greatly felt; he en-

nobled his profession, and could ill be spared. The sorrow-

ing crowd which met around his grave testified to the respectand love in which he was held by all classes at Blackheath.

ORLANDO HAVILAND, M.R.C.S.

WE have to record the death of Mr. Orlando Haviland,surgeon, Bridgewater, after a short illness, at the early ageof forty-nine years. Mr. Haviland was the youngest son ofthe late James Haviland, Esq., surgeon and magistrate forthe borough of Bridgewater. He formerly practised inKent, but, on the decease of his father in 1869, he suc-ceeded to his brother Alfred’s share of the old family prac-tice. His great professional knowledge and skill, his un-tiring energy, his geniality and impartial devotion to hispatients, whether rich or poor, endeared him to all whoknew him, both in Kent and Somerset. Mr. Havilandleaves a wife and six children to deplore his loss, besides awide circle of friends and patients.
