310 APPENDIX. 



From Dr. F. Macartney, Physician to the Right Reverend Father in 



God, the Lord Bishop of Ferns. 



Enniscorthy, September 4, 1831. 



I hare perused with great satisfaction and advantage, the various 

 treatises of Mr. H. W. Dewhurst on Anatomical and other subjects ; and 

 from his correct and intimate acquaintance with the healthy structure and 

 functions of the human body, from his superior abilities, unwearied in- 

 dustry, and great sagacity in investigating and detecting the morbid ap- 

 pearances that present themselves after death, and from his peculiar taste 

 for the study of Comparative Anatomy, and the progress be has made in 

 that department of science, I look upon him as eminently qualified to fill 

 the situation of Professor of Anatomy in any British College. The urbanity 

 of his manners, the ardent zeal he displays on all occasions to extend the 

 boundaries of human knowledge, and his peculiarly eloquent and felicitous 

 manner of imparting to others the information he has acquired, form 

 additional recommendations that must render any competition with him 

 one of no ordinary pretensions, and allowing of no inferior or deficient 

 attainment.

 quested by the Committee of Management to tender to you their thanks

 Human and Comparative Anatomy, recently delivered by Professor Henry 

 William Dewhurst, and from my intimate knowledge of the necessary
