A graduate of Princeton College in 1792, he was a medical student under the renowned Dr. Benjamin Rush, who recognized his amiable deportment and promising talents, and awarded him many tokens of esteem and affection. He was graduated in medicine from the University of Pennsylvania in 1796, and soon took rank in Philadelphia among the eminent physicians of that day. In 1798 he was chosen one of the physicians of the Philadelphia Dispensary, and upon the death of Dr. Rush, he succeeded his eminent preceptor as one of the physicians of the Pennsylvania Hospital, and held the position for twenty-two years, when he resigned. When he died, he was recognized by the profession as an eminent practitioner, a fine scholar and a cultured gentleman.
