He was educated for the medical profession, and was appointed Assistant-Surgeon to tbe 3rd Dra- goon Guards, and with his regiment joined the army in the Peninsula. He was attached to the 7th Division under Lord Dalhousie, and served till the end of the war. During this time all his spare moments were taken up with drawing from nature, and he sent home a number of sketches illustrative of the scenery in the Pyrenees, which showed a decided originality and much imagination. His artistic power was afterwards devoted principally to the delineation of external and internal pathology, and after his appointment to the General Hospital at Fort Pitt, Cliatliam, he contributed many valuable drawings to the Museum of Morbid Anatomy estab- lished by Sir James M'Grigor. He was promoted to the post of Deputy Inspector of Hospitals on the coast of Africa, and died off Cape Coast Castle in 1824.

He was appointed painter in water-colours to William, Duke of Clarence, and was marine painter to George IV., William IV., and Queen Victoria respectively. His painting of marine subjects is respectable, and his accuracy in minute details of naval architecture unsurpassed. His principal works are : ' The Battle off Cape La Hogue;' 'The Endymion Frigate, Admiral Sir Charles Paget, relieving a French Man- of-War ashore on a rock-boimd coast ; ' ' The Battle of Trafalgar;' and 'The Sinking of the Royal George.'
