LECTURE I, 



IN succeeding Sir William Blizard in the 

 honorable office of Professor of Ana- 

 tomy and Surgery, I think it right to 

 inform my audience that he was : 



earliest instructor in these sciences ; and 

 that I am greatly indebted to him for 

 much and most valuable information re- 

 specting them. My warmest thanks are 

 also due to him for the interest he ex- 

 cited in my mind towards these studies, and 

 for the excellent advice he gave me, in 

 common with other students, to direct me 

 in the attainment of knowledge.
