OP
SAMU E L G EORGE MORTON.

PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE ; FELLOW OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS ,* RECORDING
SECRETARY OF THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA.

duty assigned me. I do it cheerfully, for to me it is a grateful duty
and a source of pleasure, thus to he allowed to bear testimony to the
worth and services of the g;reat and good man whom we all had so
much cause to love and honor. His life I do not propose to write.

well and eloquently expressed in the able addresses of Professors
