LECTURES. 



Theatre of Anatomy {Blenheim- Street, Great Marlborough- 



Street. 



The Autumnal Course of Lectures on Anatomy, Physio- 

 logy, and Surgery, will be commenced on Monday the 1st 

 of October, at Two o'clock, by Mr. Brookes. 



In these Lectures the Structure of the Human Body will 

 be demonstrated on recent subjects, and further illustrated 

 by Preparations, and the functions of the different organs 

 will be explained. 



The Surgical operations are performed and every part of 

 Surgery so elucidated as may best tend to complete the 

 operating Surgeon. The art of Injecting, and of making 

 Anatomical Preparations, will be taught practically. 



Gentlemen zealous in the pursuit of Zoology will meet 

 with uncommon opportunities of prosecuting their re- 

 searches in Comparative Anatomy. 



Surgeons in the Army and Navy may be assisted in re- 

 newing their Anatomical Knowledge, and every possible 

 attention will be paid to their accommodation as well as 

 instruction. 



Anatomical Converzationes will be held weekly, when 

 the different Subjects treated of will be discussed familiarlv, 

 and the Students' views forwarded. — To these none but 

 Pupils can be admitted. 



Spacious Apartments, thoroughly ventilated, and replete 

 with every convenience, are opened all the Morning, for 

 the purposes of Dissecting and Injecting, where Mr. Brookes 

 attends to direct the Students, and demonstrate the various 

 parts as they appear on Dissection. 



An extensive Museum, containing Preparations illustra- 

 tive of every part of the Human Body, and its Diseases, 

 appertains to this Theatre, to which Students will have oc- 

 casional admittance. — Gentlemen inclined to support this 

 School by contributing preternatural or morbid parts, sub- 

 jects in Natural History, £ec. (individually of little value to 

 the possessors) may have the pleasure of seeing them pre- 

 served, arranged, and registered, with the names of the 

 Donors. ...
