[55] Sir Charles Blagden, the distinguished English physician and chemist (1748-1820) died so quietly and peacefully that not a drop of coffee in the cup which he held in his hand was spilt. He was sitting in his chair at a social meal with his friends, Monsieur and Madame Berthollet, and Gay Lussac. Dr. Joseph Black, also a famous physician, died whilst eating his customary meal of bread and milk, and so quiet and peaceful was his departure that he did not even spill the contents of a spoon which he held in his hand. WOODVILLE (William, English physician and author of a work on "Medical Botany"), 1752-1805. "_I shall not live more than two days, therefore make haste_," last recorded words said to a carpenter who had come to measure him for a coffin. WOOLSTON (Thomas, English theologian), 1669-1733. "_This is a struggle which all men must go through, and which I bear not only with patience, but with willingness._" WOOLTON (John. Bishop of Exeter), 1535-1594. "_A Bishop ought to die on his legs._" He insisted upon standing up to die, as did also the Rev. Patrick Bronte. WORDSWORTH (William, distinguished English poet), 1770-1850. "_God bless you! Is that you Dora?_" Mrs. Wordsworth, with a view of letting him know what the opinion of his medical advisers was concerning his case, said gently to him, "William, you are going to Dora!" More than twenty-four hours afterward one of his nieces came into the room, and was drawing aside the curtain of his chamber, and then, as if awakening from a quiet sleep, he said, "Is that you Dora?"[56] _Memoirs of Wordsworth, Vol. ii, p. 506._
