Hunter Holmes McGuire, M. D., Ll. D. Unveiling a statue of in the Capitol Square, Richmond, Va., January 7, 1904. With the addresses delivered on the occasion. The monument of the distinguished surgeon and beloved physician, Dr. Hunter McGuire, a seated figure in bronze, on granite plinth, the cost of which was subscribed by his friends and admirers, and which stands near the entrance at 11th and Capital streets, and east of and near that of his redoubtable chieftain, Stonewall Jackson, was unveiled in the midst of an immense throng on Thursday, January 7, 1904, with impressive ceremonies. The following is the inscription: to Hunter Holmes McGuire, M. D., Ll. D., President of the American Medical and of the American Surgical associations; founder of the University College of Medicine; Medical Director, Jackson's Corps army of Northern Virginia; an eminent Civil and military Surgeon and beloved physician. an able teacher and vigorous writer; A Useful citizen and

ught in vain to preserve. His father, Dr. Hugh Holmes McGuire, was a physician and surgeon of the older type, and it is not invidious to say that his fame exceeded that of any other member of his profession in all the regions west of the Blue Ridge mountains. Many came to him from afar to be healed. As a surgeon, his operations down to the close of his life fully sustained his well-earned reputation. His specialty, if any he had, was the eye, and multitudes came from Maryland, from Pennsylvania, and from beyond the Alleghanies to receive treatment at his hands. He was the frankest and the most unassuming of men; bluntness well-nigh to the verge of brusqueness marked his deliverances of speech, but no man had nicer perceptions of the proprieties of life, and none more free than he from intentionally wounding the sensibilities of others. His correctness and rapidity of diagnosis were marvellous. His originality in the selection of remedies, and in his methods of treatment, were

ced than himself, had from like motives entered the service. He pointed this out to General Jackson, and asked to be relieved, but his only solace was the stern reply: Sir, I appointed you. And from that day on, till the Dolorous Stroke at Chancellorsville, there was no official report of battle by General Jackson that did not contain express acknowledgment of the efficient service of Surgeon McGuire. Throughout their long and interesting association the relation between these two men was nrue courage. All men, in that relation, receive a just and lasting appraisement. Of these displays of professional skill from the binding of General Jackson's earliest wound at first Manassas to the last sad offices to his dying chief at Chancellorsville, and on down to the parting scenes at Appomattox, the achievements of this great master of his art must be recounted by more apt and fitter tongues than mine. It is now well known that the demands upon his skill as surgeon and physician did

originality in the selection of remedies, and in his methods of treatment, were matters of wonder and approval by his profession. Although sixty years of age at the outbreak of the war, he instantly offered his services, was commissioned as surgeon, and placed in charge of the hospitals at Lexington. He had married Ann Eliza Moss, of Fairfax county, his first cousin, their mothers being daughters of Colonel Joseph Holmes, an officer in the Continental Line, and county lieutenant of Frederick county during the Revolutionary war. Of this marriage was born, on the 11th of October, 1835, Hunter Holmes McGuire, who was called after his great uncle, Major Andrew Hunter Holmes, an officer of the United States army, who had fallen at the battle of Mackinaw. Hunter received his academic education at the Winchester Academy, where he might have seen his father's name graven on the desks, and where a succession of Scotch and Irish schoolmasters had done so much to give strength and form

Opening exercises. The invited guests and the officers of the Association, having assembled on the platform erected for their accommodation, the assembly was called to order by the Hon. George L. Christian, chairman, who requested Rev. James Power Smith, D. D., to open the exercises with prayer. Prayer. Almighty and ever Gracious God, Thou art from everlasting to everlasting! Thy days are without end and Thy mercies cannot be numbered! Men come and pass away, and the procession of our humanity moves rapidly beyond the veil; but Thou remainest and thy grace fails not. O Lord, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee! We thank Thee for the many blessings that attend our days and enfold us for our protection, our elevation and

on, I am commissioned to present this monument to Virginia, and to ask your Excellency, as the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth, to accept the same on her behalf. In doing this I affirm that, in the many similar gifts which she has received in the past to commemorate the deeds of her illustrious sons, Virginia has never received one from more loving and devoted hands, or one of a more patriotic, noble and devoted son than Hunter Holmes McGuire. Acceptance by the Governor. Governor A. J. Montague responded as follows: Mr. Chairman: In consummation of the affection and energies of this Association, and in conformity to the statute of the Commonwealth, I accept this monument to Hunter Holmes McGuire with the confidence that it will be cherished as an evidence of his rich contribution to science, humanity and country; for the counterfeit presentment, in whose shadow we now stand, will proclaim with duration and eloquence of bronze the memory of a patriot, soldier and scient

n an attempt to escape oppressions tenfold more galling than those which produced the first revolution. There stands Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, and the most profound political philosopher of any time. There stands Mason, author of the Bill of Rights of Virginia, the model for all such declarations for all States and for all time. There stands Marshall, the great expounder of the Constitution; universally conceded to have been one of the greatest jurists of any hich certain historians of political and social events in this country of ours have been guided in their works. Of the biographical enclyclopedias, in which persons of whose existence we never heard are recorded as American Statesman, while George Mason, of Virginia, and many others of almost equal eminence are noticed only as local politicians, and of the more imposing histories of the United States which have obtained general currency, we do not complain, or do no more than point out follie

oticed only as local politicians, and of the more imposing histories of the United States which have obtained general currency, we do not complain, or do no more than point out follies in a passing review. But, of one class of such literature we have complained, and have done more than complain, we have rooted it out from our public schools because of its tendency to inculcate falsehoods which were vicious in their intent and pernicious in their consequences. The aphorism is attributed to Fletcher of Saltoun: Let me write the songs of a people, and I care not who makes their Laws. The writers of these meretricious books, with hope of more far-reaching results, might, with more of practical wisdom, say: Let me write the school books of a people, and I care not who writes their songs or their Laws. To no man in the land is the credit for this work of wholesome expurgation in the South more due than to Hunter McGuire. The engrossing demands of his professional life, on its many s
