    Notes: Frederick Dalcho, a nephew of Dr. Charles Frederick Wiesenthal, was born in London, of Prussian parents in 1770. His father was an officer under Frederick the Great, who was severely wounded in battle and retired by permission of his sovereign to spend the remainder of his life in London. Young Dalcho, upon invitation of his uncle, came to Baltimore in 1787. Here he obtained a good classical education and studied medicine and botany under his uncle. He attended the lectures of Drs. A Wiesenthal and Geo. Buchanan in 1789-90. He is credited by his biographer with having obtained the degree of M.D., and he may have been a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, although his name is not contained in the catalogue of that institution, which is known to be defective. If he graduated there it was probably in 1792. He was appointed surgeon-mate in the U.S.A. in 1792, serving in South Carolina. Later he became a surgeon, but resigned and settled in practice in Charleston in 1799. In 1805 he was Secretary of the South Carolina Medical Society. He was trustee of the South Carolina Botanic Garden. In 1807 he was editing the Charleston Courier. Some years later he studied theology and was ordained deacon in the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1814 and priest in 1818. He was appointed rector of St. Michael’s Church, Charleston, in 1819. He was also made Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State. He died November 24, 1836. Dr. Dalcho was the author of “An Historical Account of the Protestant Episcopal Church in South Carolina, from its First Settlement to the Revolution.” 1820, a work which is an authority upon its subjec t. He also wrote “Ahriman Rezon” for Masons, 1822. He also edited The Gospel Messenger.

    Notes: BUCHANAN, George (1763-1808), a founder of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, was of Scotch descent, the son of Andrew and Susan Lawson Buchanan, and grandson of George Buchanan, the emigrant who laid out Baltimore town in 1730. He was born at “The Palace,” Baltimore County, Maryland, September 19, 1763, and studied under Dr. Charles Frederick Wisenthal (q.v.), a famous Prussian surgeon of Baltimore, and under Dr. William Shippen (q.v.) of Philadelphia. With the latter he served in the Revolution. He received an M. B. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1785 and then spent about three years in Europe, chiefly in medical study at Edinburgh University. While there he held the office of president of the “Royal Physical Society.” Returning to America, he received from Pennsylvania University his M.D. in 1789, his thesis being “Dissertato Physiologica de causis Respirationis ejusdemque Affectibus.” He began practice in Baltimore the same year. With Dr. Andrew Wisenthal (q.v.) he also attempted to found a medical school, and lectured during the winter of 1789-1790 to a class of nine students on “diseases of women and children and the Brunonian system.” In connection with this enterprise he published a treatise on “Typhus Fever,” the proceeds of which he desired to go towards the founding of a lying-in hospital. Unfortunately dissensions, the nature of which are not now evident, arose and, notwithstanding the efforts of Dr. Buchanan, the society was dissolved and the school abandoned. In 1790 he issued a letter to the inhabitants of Baltimore in which he urged the registration of deaths, the creation of a public park, and the establishment of a humane society. In a fourth-of-July oration the following year he discoursed on “The Moral and Political Evils of Slavery.” He retired from practice on account of bad health in 1800 and in 1806 removed to Philadelphia. There he became resident physician to the Lazarettos, in which institution he died of yellow fever on July 9, 1808, in his forty-fifth year. In 1789 he had married Laetitia, daughter of Thomas McKean of Pennsylvania, a signer of the “Declaration of Independence.”
