for the purposes of dissection, and of making 

 'experiments with regard to the quantity of dif- 

 ferent medicines which might be given with 

 safety, as well as to their effects. 



The professor and pupils were liberally se- 

 conded in their endeavours by the following 

 gentlemen, whose names are sufficient testimo- 

 nials of their abilities, viz. Sir Geo. Baker, 

 Mr. Cline, Mr. Abernethy, Dr. Geo. For- 

 DYCE, Mr. J. Hunter, Dr. Baillie, Mr. 

 Cruikshanks, and Mr. Home ; the latter 

 five generously granted to the pupils of the 

 college the liberty of gratuitous attendance at 

 several courses of their respective lectures. To 

 this source I shall always be proud to acknow^ 

 ledge myself much indebted, and sliall ever 

 hold it in grateful remembrance.
