When the grave has closed over a man, the greater part of whose life has been devoted to works of benevolence, which have conferred a lasting benefit upon mankind, it is due to his memory that the public should be reminded of What he did, and of how he achieved his high objects.
Such a man was Dr. John Conolly, and it is the purpose of the following Memoir to give an account of his works - especially of that great work, which has ranked him among the bene factors of his race.
