THE long-defired meafiire of reftri.!!- 

 ing the Medical ProlefTion to the 

 hands ot none b\it wed-inltmrted prafii- 

 tiotiers in the country as well as in Lon- 

 don, is at length about to be carried into 

 cffcfl. The provifions, as far as tiny 

 concern legulars, are intended to be pru- 

 fpe^live, and confequcntly will not ope- 

 rate upon the preient generation ; but as 

 thefe die away or retire, their fituatiors 

 will be occupied by perfoiisof (uitable and 

 comf>etcnt education. Plans of the fame 

 kind have lately been introduced into Di- 

 vinity and the Law, and no good reafcn 

 can be affigned for not extending a prin- 

 ciple to Medicine which has alieady done 

 fo much good in the fiftcr-profelTions. — 

 The plan has already obtainud the counte- 

 nance and fupport ot many of the moft re- 

 fpeftable phylicians and furgeons of the 

 metropolis, and we anticipate a fpeedy 

 and zealous co-operation of the faculty in 

 all parts of the kingdom, in fupport of a 

 meafure which is eminently calculated to 

 increale the credit of the ptofeflion, and to 

 make its fullowers infinitely more ufeful 

 to the community. 



In confequence of a fire which on the 

 iith of December confumed the extenfive 

 printing-offices of Mr, Gillet, in Sa- 



li&ury-fquare, the publication of the Firft 

 Part of Dr. Gregory's New Cyclo- 

 PLDIA is deferred till l^e firft of Mc.rch. 

 Several printed fheets, together with the 

 new types, were lo.'l by this accident ; 

 but other types are in a couife of prepara- 

 tion, and the work will in feveral refpefts 

 be improved by the delay. 



Mr, Parkes, chemilf, has in the 

 prefs a Chemical Catechifm, drawn up 

 purpofely for the ufe of fchools, and for 

 thole perfoiis who are unacquainted with 

 the fcience, accompanied wiih notes to 

 elucidate and exemplify the doftrines 

 taught in the Catechifm, and for the pur- 

 pofe of fhowing the ufes of the feveral fub- 

 ftances of nature, in promoting the com- 

 fort of civilized life, and their application 

 in the arts and manufoiffures of the coun- 

 try. He intends to annex a Vocabulary 

 of Chemical Terms, a vaiiety of ufeful 

 Tables, and references to the moft approv- 

 ed writers in each department of chemiftry.
