In 1745, Albinos was removed from the professorship of anatomy to that of medicine in the same university ; and in the former of these offices he was succeeded by Fred. Bern. Albinus, his brother. His reputation was now so great and extensive, that the societies of London, Petersburgh, and Haarlem, received him into the num ber of their associates. Ile was twice rector of the university of Leyden ; and he as often declined that high honour when it would have been conferred upon him. But he did not suffer these creditable testimonies of his merits to relax his diligence, or abridge the time which he had devoted to study ; his mind was bent towards the improvement of medical science, and his zeal to promote it was never diminished. Ile still prosecuted his inqui ries with all the vigour of youth, and with all the activity of one whose reputation is not yet established. It was only two years before his death that lie published the last volume of his anatomical annotations. At length, worn out with study, and full of days, he expired on the 9th September, 1770.
