The Private Schools. 



The earliest private school of which we have any record was 

 Brennan's, on Arran Quay. An advertisement of this school 

 appeared in the Dublin Weekly Journal, 1728, as follows : 



" A course of Anatomy in all branches (viz.) Osteology, 

 Myology, Neurology, Adenology, and Enterology will be 

 given by James Brennan, M.D., etc. The charge of this 

 course is two Pistoles." 



This school was in existence before the foundation of the 

 school in connection with the College of Surgeons, and in all 

 likelihood many others existed even before the foundation of 

 the School of Physic in 1710, but of these there are no records 

 available. 



The principal private schools of the nineteenth century in 

 Dublin were Crampton's, Jervis Street Hospital School, 

 Kirby's, The Theatre of Anatomy, the Park Street, Car- 

 michael, Hargreaves, Peter's Street, Ledwich, Stephen's 

 Hospital Medical School, and the School of Medicine of the 

 Apothecaries Hall, which latter became the Cecilia Street 

 School of Medicine of the Catholic University. 



In 1812 Woodroffe's School of Anatomy existed in Cork, 

 where Hogan, the sculptor, studied. Caesar's " recognized 

 School of Medicine " was established in Cork in 1828, and 

 existed until the foundation of the Queen's College. Warren's 

 Place School of Anatomy, Medicine and Surgery in the same 

 city flourished 1835 to 1844.
