INTRODUCTORY LECTURE DELIVERED AT THE ALDERSGATE 

 SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. By ALFRED SMEE, F.R.S., Lecturer on 

 Surgery at the Aldersgate School, Surgeon to the Royal General 

 Dispensary, to the Central London Ophthalmic Institution, to the 

 Bank of England, to the Provident Clerks' Mutual Benefit Associa-

GENTLEMEN, The solemn occasion for which we are this day col- 

 lected together, is to inquire into the nature of the studies necessary for 

 the education of a gentleman, to enable him to practise medical science. 

 You will doubtless consider that it will suffice for me simply to enumerate 

 the views of those associations of great men who, in different countries, 

 preside over the members of the medical profession; but, unfortunately, 

 on a more careful examination into their proceedings, we perceive that the
