His father, who was only a poor phleboto- mist and barber, contrived to give him an education, and intended to bring him up to the church, which was thought most likely to afFord him a maintenance; but one of his friends, Sebastian Klinghor, then Pro- fessor of Surgery, induced him to study that branch, in which he soon evinced great talents.
