    functions, is the only published writing of Mr. George with which I am acquainted. It is with feelings of sincere sympathy that you will regard the loss of another of our associates, which took place on the 22nd of September last, under circumstances peculiarly afflicting. Dr. John Carr Badeley was an eminent physician at Chelmsford, where he possessed an extensive range of prac- tice, and was universally esteemed. On the evening before his death, Dr. Badeley suffered from a severe attack of tooth- ache. Early in the morning he went down into his study for the purpose of taking some medicine to alleviate the pain, and he inadvertently partook of some morphia; his untimely decease was the result, to the inexpressible distress of a family of ten children, and a numerous circle of attached friends. Dr. Badeley was well known to his professional brethren as an accomplished and talented physician, and was the author of several works connected with medicine. He delivered the Harveian Oration at the College of Physicians in 1850, which lecture was much commended. He also recently published some lectures on the Mind. He was a man of sparkling wit, great amiability of disposition, and combined zeal in its pur- suit with an extensive knowledge of our profession. I have next to notice the decease of Dr. Charles Julius Roberts, who was born in Farringdon-street, and educated at St. Paul’s School. He first studied medicine in London at St. George’s Hospital, and then went to the West Indies, where he remained for three years. On his return he studied at Edinburgh, and was a favourite pupil of Dr. Home. He took his degree in 1820, and was admitted a member of the College of Physicians and of this Society in the following year. Dr. Roberts was the author of a small work on the Domestic Management of Children,” and of various papers in the peri- odicals. He had a great taste for collecting and studying the old medical writers of this country. He was kind-hearted and of highly honourable feelings. He died rather suddenly at New Kingston, where he was on a visit for a few days, it was believed, of a spasmodic affection of the heart. He had formerly been physician to the Aldersgate-street Dis- pensary, and was pliysiciau to the Welsh Charity, and to the Deaf and Dumb Institution.
