Apparently the arrangement was that Dalton should 

 receive the fees of the students attending his lectures and 

 pay all expenses. In the Manchester Guardian for 

 December 4th, 1824, will be found the first announcement 

 relating to the lectures : — 



TO MEDICAL STUDENTS. 



John Dalton, F.R.S., President of the Literary and 

 Philosophical Society, intends to commence a course of 

 about fifteen lectures on Pharmaceutical Chemistry at 

 Mr. Turner's Lecture Room, Pine street, on Tuesday 

 evening, the 7th December, at seven o'clock. 



The Lecturer, after explaining the first principles of 

 Chemistry, will proceed to apply them to investigations 

 respecting the Materia Medica, and to other purposes 

 relating to the profession. 



Tickets for the Course at One Guinea each may be 

 had of Mr. Dalton, at No. 10, George street. 



According to his usual custom Dalton prepared a 

 printed syllabus for these special lectures, the chief sub- 

 divisions being : — Introduction, Heat or Caloric, Con- 

 stitution of Bodies, Chemical Syntheses and Analyses, 

 Simple or Elementary Gases, Elementary Solids, Com- 

 pound Bodies, Alkalies, Acids, etc., P^arths, Sulphurets, 

 Metals, Vegetable Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. 



He received fees amounting to ,£27. 8s. od., but 

 his expenses were £>\o. 10s. od. 



Mr. Turner, in his report in 1825 relating to the work 

 of the previous session of the Medical School, says : — 



On the Application of Chemistry to Medicine and Surgery. 



Mr. Dalton, whose philosophical attainments were 



too well known to require any panegyric, had last year 



delivered a course of Lectures which he would shortly 



repeat. 7
