"My [Anna Boyle Boone's] mother married Patrick George Boyle, a surgeon in the navy. He passed the Royal College of Surgeons as an assistant in 1810, and 1816 as a full surgeon : and wax' appointed in that capacity at the Stonehouse Naval Hospital, Plymouth; and on the 1st of August, -1826, he took his degree as a doctor of medicine at the Royal University, Edinburgh. My father was the son of Justice Boyle of Sligo, Ireland. He was not hand- some, but distinguished in manners and appearance, proud to a fault, but generous and charitable to the poor. During his life, we lived stylishly; he and my mother mixing among the most refined classes of society in Scotland. Besides an extensive practice, rny father had a liberal pension for life, for a periodical paralyzation of his hands, caused by the climate in the East Indies, where he was appointed by the British Government for some years. Added to this, he had his half-pay as a surgeon in the navy ; but he lived up to every guinea of his income, and, at his death, we were reduced to almost indigent circumstances."
