Among his peculiar excellencies may be mentioned, perhaps, an unequalled felicity of combination in his prescriptions: there was something introduced for every symptom or even inconvenience, yet the whole harmonized and had immediate reference to the principal complaint." Dr. Reynolds's portrait, by Abbot, was engraved by V. Green in 1798.
