Obituary.
At Paris , suddenly of Asiatic cholera , CHARLES MORISON ( set . 69 , ) Esq ., M . D ., Physician to the Forces , half-pay , and Physician Extraordinary to H . R . H . the late Duke of Sussex . Dr . Morison was long in the Royal 10 th Hussars , and served in that regiment during the campaign of General the late Sir John Moore , as also in the campaigns of Field-marshal the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula . As a Mason he was learnedif such were possibleto a fault ; for with a depth of
, , power to investigate , he would communicate to others none of his researches ; yet with a pertinacity , not over amiable , he would deny without convincing , in fact , he could not Condescend to fair argument ; this , we believe , arose from a constitutional obstinacy more than from a desire to offend , yet offend be generally did . His kinder friends attributed his failings to eccentricity , and would even term it brilliancy of effect . Dr . Morison was a masonic bibliomaniac ; his collection of
works on the Order was possibly more extensive than that of any other brother , the Duke of Sussex and Dr . Crucefix not excepted ; and much curiosity , if not interest , is felt as to the destination of his library . The closing scene of his masonic career was characteristic—the revival of the 33 rd degree in England offended his amour propre , and he lent himself to the folly of doing that in Edinburgh , which neither advanced his reputation nor promoted his happiness . —Peace be with him .
