of the Hale family, Mr. C. B. Walker, and others, and thanks largely to their frequent liberal gifts the church has been beautified, large and successful schools have been provided, the character and appearance of the locality have been raised, and various church agencies have been energetically carried on.

Now with regard to the site. The existence of the church is chiefly due to the munificence of Mr. C. J. Monk, who promised a large subscription on condition that the church should be built where it stands. He had what he considered good and sufficient grounds for this requirement, and he and other members of the family of Bishop Monk have contributed at least £1,000 to the church and its adjuncts. The site had certainly been consecrated, if anything deserves that name. A church had existed there for hundreds of years, and for generations the parishioners had been laid to rest within the precincts of the churchyard. It may be that if churches could be moved like the pieces on a chessboard, a redistribution of the Gloucester churches would be desirable; but it is idle to say, as has lately been asserted, that St. Catharine's Church should have been erected at Wotton or in Denmark-road. No doubt a church will before long have to be provided on the north-east side of the city, and it will be far better to erect a new one than to attempt any enlargement of the old Norman church of St. Margaret, as was lately proposed; but it could not be pretended for a moment that a church in Denmark-road was the parish church of St. Catharine's. We should be glad to see a church in or near Denmark-road, where the erection of houses will probably be stimulated into greater activity when the corporation land in that district is laid out for building; and those who advocate the provision of such a church may take courage from what occurred in St. Catharine's, where a handful of people, none of them wealthy, worked for at least ten years before they had any solid reason for believing that their efforts would be successful.—Gloucestershire Chronicle, Sept. 21, 1889.

A memoir of him by his son, Dr. Charles Henry Parry, is in Lives of British Physicians, in "Murray's Family Library."

His son was an accomplished physician at Bath, and devoted some of the best years of his life to the elucidation and confirming of his father's views, and the publication of a selection from his numerous papers. To his pen we owe-Introductory Essays to Collections from the Unpublished Medical Writings of the late Caleb Hillier Parry, M.D., etc.; and Collections from the Unpublished Medical Writings of the same, two vols. ; both works published in London, 1825. He was author also of A Memoir of the Revd Joshun Purry, Nonconformist Minister of Cirencester, his grandfather, which was edited after his death by Sir John E.

Over the vault in which he is buried in Duntisbourne Church there is this inscription :-" Sacred to the memory of Matthew Baillie, M.D., | who terminated his useful and

12. JOHN EDMONDS STOCK, M.D., practised at Bristol, where his secession in 1816 from the Unitarians, with whom he had allied himself, caused great sensation, and led to a correspondence which was published at the time. He died in the house of his brother-in-law, the Rev. Joseph Shapland, at Tewkesbury, 4th October, 1835, aged 60. 37. ADAM NEALE, M.D. (1802), born in Scotland, settled at Exeter in 1814, and seems to have remained there about six years, when he removed to Cheltenham, where, however, he was only for a short time. His career there was as stormy as it was brief, and his conduct wholly indefensible. He signalised his advent by the publication of A Letter to a Professor of Medicine in the University of Edinburgh respecting the Nature and Properties of the Mineral Waters of Cheltenham, London, 1820; the object being to cast doubt on the genuineness of the waters served to visitors at the principal and most frequented spring. It was soberly answered by an accomplished physician already mentioned, Dr. Jameson, in a pamphlet entitled A Refutation of a Letter from Dr. Adam Neale to a Professor of Medicine; with a Statement of ulterior proceedings to quiet the minds of the Public respecting Cheltenham Waters, Cheltenham, 1820; and more categorically in a pamphlet, Fact versus Assertion, or Critical and Explanatory Observations on some Erroneous Statements in Dr. Adam Neale's pamphlet on Cheltenham Waters; to which are annexed Directions for Management in the Art of Puffing addressed to a
