1793* on education, iig 



Anatomy. 

 TJjeory of •physic. 

 Practice of medicine. 

 Materia medica. 

 These branches of medical know' edge have been 

 so long taught with good effect in Europe, that no 

 farther explanation of them is necefsary. 

 Pharmaceittic chemistry. 

 Or the doctrine of compounding medicines. This 

 has hitherto been only iiicidentallj taught as a par- 

 ticular part of the general course of chemistry. 

 For obvious reasons it Ihould be separated into a 

 distinct branch ; many students have occasion for 

 the one of these courses, who do not desire the c- 

 ther. 



Surgery. 

 The veterenarian art, 

 Or the treatment of the diseases of domestic ani- 

 mals This never has entered into the system of 

 Britifh education ; though it is without dispute an 

 object of great importance. Farriery is the only- 

 branch of it which is in any respect followed as a 

 particular businefs in Britain. France had made 

 great advances in establifhing a veterenarian school 

 before the late troubles arose, which for a time, have 

 suspended the progrefs of this and many other use- 

 ful institutions. It is to be hoped, these will be again 

 revived when peace fhall be restored to that distrac- 

 ted country ! Some feeble attempts have of late also 

 been made to establifh a veterenary school in Bri- 

 tain, which we may hope will gradually attain a 

 jiiore perfect degree of stability.
