IT T has been our satisfaction, and we would hope that our readers may have participated in the same, to trace the characters of personal worth and professional excellence in the Memoirs of many eminent persons who still live to adorn and benefit society; and it is a record of the present age, in which every cotemporary may justly exult, that in all the evidences of knowledge and skill, the domestic history of our country cannot boast a brighter page than that which the nineteenth century opens to our contemplation:-and while we mark with delight the march of superiority with which national talent outstrips the progress of foreign competition, we er joy the additional gratification of knowing, that Great Britain is universally acknowledged as displaying a standard of genius, by which every other part of the civilized world is anxious to regulate its efforts of improvement in all the various departments of science through which lies the path to individual fance and public happiness.

Perhaps, indeed, there is no application of the human intellect which requires more abstruse study, in union with more general knowledge, than the medical profession. mal, mal, vegetable, and mineral worlds, in all their most subtle implications of construction and combination, demand the minutest inquiry and the closest attention of the student. The elements themselves must be thoroughly investigated, and understood by him in all their simple and component properties; and that wonderful machine the human body, with all its complexities of internal and external structure, nay, even the mind itself, with all its affections, must be familiar to his coguizance, and brought within the very tact of his hand. Thus the numerous pursuits of natural history, chemistry, electricity, anatomy, and pathology, each of which may well be estimated as the study of a whole life, have all a clain |
