and Rhetoric, no ordinary Proficient. Some of his Works he Dedicated to _Richard_, Bishop of _Bayeux_: In the first Work he treats of the Principles, Qualities, and Effects of Natural Things, against the vain Opinions of the old Philosophers. In the Preface it appears, he wrote in the Year 1130, under the Reign of _Henry_ I. I might here enlarge upon the great Fame and Merits of _John Giles_, a Native of St _Albans_, who made such Progress in the Study of Physic, that he was made Professor of that Faculty at _Paris_ and _Montpelier_, and Physician to _Philip_, King of _France_. After his Return to his own Country, he was, according to _Matthew Paris_, consulted by _Robert Grosthead_, the learned Bishop of _Lincoln_, in his last Illness; of which he died in 1253. He has written, _De re Medica_, and _de Prognosticis_, and some other Things. He flourished about the Year 1230, in the Reign of King _Henry_ III. _Hugh de Eversham_, deserves in this Place to be remembred, who was a Man of great Learning, a Physician by Profession, and perhaps the best of his Age. He was well known in many Countries, being a great Frequenter of the Universities. With the severer Studies of his Art, he mingled the pleasant Science of the Mathematics, and particularly Geometry and Astronomy. This made him known to many in _France_ and _Italy_, and among the rest, to Pope _Martin_ IV, who invited him, by Letters, to come to him, and solve some Questions in Physic, which were then newly started: Accordingly he went without Delay, and performed what was required readily and learnedly. He published _Super Opere Febrium Isaac_. _Medicinales Canones_. _Problemata quædam_, and some other Things. He flourished the Year 1281; when he was created Cardinal Presbyter of St _Laurence_, by the said Pope _Martin_, in the Reign of _Edward_ I. He is said to have died by Poison at _Rome_, _Anno_ 1287; although _Cicæonius_, to palliate this Matter, says he died of the Plague. _Chirurgical Remarks_ ON A WOUND of the HEAD RECEIVED By a CHILD from the Blow of a Cat-Stick in throwing at a COCK on Shrove Tuesday, 1709.
