commenced in Dublin, was completed at the grammar school of Southampton, under the Rev. Mr. Kingsman. In October, 1727, he was admitted a commoner of Trinity college, Oxford, and as a member of that house proceeded A.B. 7th November, 1730; A.M. 25th May, 1733; when, devoting himself to physic, he removed to London and attended the anatomical lectures of Dr. Frank Nicholls, and the practice of St. Thomas's hospital.

Few men have been more respected by the College; none, probably, by their attainments were better qualified for practice than Dr. Lawrence; yet as a physician he made but little progress. He was an elegant classical scholar, a good anatomist, and a sound practitioner; but in his endeavour to attain to eminence it was his misfortune to fail. "He was a man," says Sir John Hawkins," of whom in respect of his piety, learning, and skill in his profession, it may be almost said
