was tolerant even to the intolerant , and had learnt from the practice of his profession to deal tenderly with the failings of all . Seldom or never was he heard to address an unkind or hasty word to a dependant . His liberality was unbounded , and he was never appealed to in vain for aid , pecuniary or otherwise . Dr . Harland was the son of a physician at Scarborough , who still lives to lament his loss . He graduated in 1845 at Edinburgh University , where he bore away many honours , was looked on as the foremost medical student of the day , and was elected member
of various learned societies . Soon after passing the English Eoyal College of Surgeons , he came out to Hongkong , in which he spent nine years , previous to his recent visit to England .
