By Order of the said (Signed) BENJAMIN MARTYN, Secty. A true copy, this 20th September, 1751. JOHN MACKINTOSH THOMAS BOSOM WORTH Eulogy on the Life and Character of Dr. Noble Wymberley Jones The Georgia Medical Society was incorporated by act of the Legislature, assented to December 12, 1804, "for the purpose of lessening the fatality induced by climate and incidental causes, and improving the science of medicine; and in order to ensure and establish their said institution in a permanent and effectual manner, so that the benevolent and desirable objects thereof may be executed with success and advantage." Eighteen gentlemen were named as the members composing that body, of which Noble Wymberley Jones was the President, John Irvine, Vice-President, John Grimes, Secretary, and Lemuel Kollock, Treasurer. The time of service of Dr. N. W. Jones was short, as he died January 9, 1805. We have had numerous sketches of the life of that truly good and honorable man, but none of them as full or informing as the one by Dr. Grimes, who was well qualified for the work, as he was the friend and coworker, gifted as a ready writer, and, moreover, he married the grand-daughter of Dr. Jones. While much has been written of the political and social life of the subject of this sketch, no reference of an extended character has been made to his professional knowledge and skill, and it was proper that Dr. Grimes should be appointed to pronounce the eulogy before the Georgia Medical Society. It is scarcely within the knowledge of a score of persons now living that such a paper was ever written, and it deserves a place in this periodical. It is reproduced from what appears to be the original document, and is among the collection of papers of the Georgia Historical Society. Dr. Grimes died in 1816, and it is a matter of regret that we know so little of his life. In the year 1806 he married Cath erine Glen, whose father, John Glen, married a daughter of Dr. N. W. Jones. A stone erected in memory of Dr. Grimes in Colonial Park, bears this simple inscription: JOHN GRIMES, M. D. DIED 24th day of June Aged 35 years. The middle name of Dr. Jones is written Wimberly whereever it appears in the manuscript, which is entitled: We have assembled on a solemn and dignified occasionto honor the loss, to pay homage to the virtues of our first and late President, the good, the venerable Doctor Noble Wymberley Jones! By your resolve to perpetuate his memory, you have done equal honor to yourselves, to your country, to humanity and to your profession. In committing this interesting and arduous duty to me, you have imposed a task which no effort in my power will be able to accomplish. I have neither the health, the time, nor the talents, to treat the subject in the manner you expect, or, from its merits, it deserves. I have deceived you not less than myself. An ardent and enthusiastic love of merit obscured my judgment. In consenting to become the organ of your feelings on this occasion, it was mis taken by me for talents, at the exhibition of which I shudder, for the imbecility of which I crave and claim your indulgence. Friends and Fellow Citizens! Death has made another inroad upon the worthies of our country. He, among the first that stepped upon this shore-a hissing and inhospitable wild; He the last among those who first saw this city-a rude and uncultivated waste; He from whose virtues and labours you have received an age of benefits—is but now no more! With fond and pathetic recollection of his examplary goodness, let us embalm his memory! It is a tribute which the ingenuous and feeling heart delights to pay; a debt of gratitude, which even the basest minds cannot withhold. What ample scope does this theme afford for all the powers of eloquence, for all the sensibilities of reverence and affection! Such shining examples as a review of his life exhibits, held forth to public view, have a far greater effect on the minds of men than all the dry dogmas and precepts of philosophy. While they enlighten they warm the heart, and by their living energy, stimulate to great and godlike actions. The celebration of the characters and exploits of the brave the valient and the wise, is common in every age and country -is a custom coeval with the history of man. This has excited the songs of ancient bards and minstrels, the chisel of the statuary, the pencil of the painter, and the pen of the historian and biographer. For this purpose have temples and other architectural monuments been erected. But to commemorate the exertions of the just, the virtuous and the good is an occurence that does not often give splendor to the annals of any age or people. For this purpose only should the voice of the eulogist be heard. To fan in our breasts the flame of friendship threatened with extinction by the damy of death, to add perpetuity to sentiments of gratitude for distinguished services; to cherish in our bosoms a love of exalted worth; and to allure us on to virtuous conduct through the medium of our constitutional propensity to imitation; is a noble and important duty, whether we view it in its relationship to the cultivation of pri |
