YOUNG medical men, however successful, have 

 usually a considerable amount of leisure time ; and 

 such was my own case. Gradually this time was 

 spent in more and more definite scientific research. 

 Whilst a student in London, I had been treated with 

 the greatest kindness by most of the professors. I 

 was intimate with Lindley, through my long-continued 

 labour for the " Fossil Flora of Great Britain," of which 

 he was one of the two editors. I was also in the 

 habit of associating with Dr. Sharpey at the meet- 

 ings of the Royal Society and at the soirees of the 

 Marquis of Northampton. At the time referred to, 

 Sharpey had just published a new edition of the best 

 student's text-book, known as "Quain's Anatomy."
