COYTIER, JAMES. J. Roberts pinx. Died 1506. François sc. Physician to Charles XI. of France. Memorable for nothing in particular, but the dexterity he shewed in managing this monarch. Lewis had not a single principle by which any one could lay hold of him; but he had an intense fear of dying, of which most contemptible cowardice Coytier took the advantage; and often threatening his master with a speedy dissolution, obtained from time to time great and innumerable favours. Lewis, however, once recovered strength of mind enough to be ashamed of his weakness; and feeling a momentary resentment for what he then thought the insolence of his physician, ordered him to be privately dispatched. Coytier, apprised of this by the officer, who was his intimate friend, replied: 'that the only concern he felt about himself was, not that he must die, but that the king could not survive him more than four days; that he knew this by a particular science, and only mentioned it to him in confidence, as an intimate friend.' Lewis, informed of this, was frightened more than ever, and ordered Coytier to be at large as usual. CRAANEN, THEOD, M. D. L. Toornolect del. A. Blotchling sc. 1687. CRANE, STAFFORD. Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Sir Richard Croft was descended from a very ancient and distinguished family in Herefordshire, and may justly be described as a man of the most honorable principles, and the most generous disposition. He married, early in life, the eldest twin daughter of Dr. Denman, at whose suggestion he attended the Duchess of Devonshire at Paris, a circumstance which contributed greatly to his future fame and fortune. For thirty years he continued to practice with the highest credit and success, until the fatal and afflicting termination of his attendance on the Princess Charlotte. He possessed much practical knowledge, and no man more entirely commanded the affection of his family and friends, and his dreadful death may be considered as occasioned by an excess of those feelings which do most honor to the human heart.
