David, M. A. born at Illingworth, where his father was curate, received his academical education at Jesus college, Cambridge, of which he was a fellow. He first began to practise physic at Newark, in Nottinghamshire; from whence he remo ved to St Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk. After this, he settled for some time in London; and lastly went to live at Bath, where he died in 1757, aged 53, leaving two sons and a daughter. He published "A view of the present evidence for and against Mrs Stephens's* medicines as a solvent for the stone, containing 155 cases, with some experiments and observations;" London 1739. He is said to have also written against Dr Warren, of St Edmund's Bury, in defence of inoculation; and some letters of his are to be met with in the Philosophical Transactions. The doctor was certainly a man of learning, and reputed a good physician; but too fond of nostrums. But his most considerable literary production is a work entitled, "Observations on man, his frame, his duty, and his expectations, in two parts;" London, 1749, 2 vols. 8vo. The first part contains observations on the frame of the human body and mind, and on their mutual connections and influences. The second part contains observations on the duty and expectations of mankind.
