    deceased brother, and in his latter moments, to the exclusion of every other concern, claimed all his thoughts. In the records of those eminent men who have supported the medical character of our country, Dr. Tillary will maintain a highly respectable rank; and while talents, inflexible integrity, and distinguished virtue, are held in remembrance, his memory will be cherished by his fellow men, especially by that soci- ety of his native and adopted countrymen, with whom he was so long and so intimately connected. I lament to add that the circumstances* under which I now address you, have not permitted a more ample expression of that esteem and respect which we all cherish for our departed friend. * This address was delivered at the request of the St. Andrew's Society, on the day subsequent to the death of Dr. Tillary.
