campaigns, was amongst the prisoners. The previous victory
alluded to was that at Boucoux. (See No. 294.)

No specimen of this medal has been met with.
John Taylor, better known as the Chevalier Taylor, was a
native of Norwich, where he began his studies as an oculist,
which he afterwards continued in London under the celebrated
Cheselden. In 1727 Taylor set out on his professional journeys,
and having first visited every town in England, Scotland, and
Ireland, he crossed in 1734 over to France. From that year
till 1760 he spent his time in going from one country to
another, so that in all Europe there was scarcely a town which
he had not visited. He was admitted at all the foreign courts,
and was honoured with many marks of favour by learned societies
of all countries. In 1736 he was appointed oculist to George II.,
and in the course of his travels on the Continent received like
appointments to several crowned heads, princes, and others,
amongst whom were the Empress of Austria, Frederick the
Great, and Pope Benedict XIV. In 1762 he published in three
volumes an account of his travels, in which he has recorded all
his titles and diplomas, hut the work throughout is full of conceit
and self-praise. After the publication of his memoirs Taylor
went to Borne, where it appears that he shortly afterwards died.
This medal was probably executed in 1747, when Taylor first
visited Germany.
