ACCOUNT of the UNIVERSITY OF JENA. 
MONG the eighty univerfities in 
A Germany this feat of the Mufes is 
juftly confidered as one of the moft lumi- 
mous points. Through the care of the 
Duke of Saxe-Weimar, who with the 
other Princes of the Erneftian branch of 
the Houfe of Saxony, is the confervator 
thereof, it has, during the laft twenty 
years, rifen to great diltintion; and the 
poet Gothe, who frequently refides for 
months in the Duke’s caftle at Jena, has, 
both as minifter of the Duke and as a li- 
Aerary man, great influence in the Uniyer- 
Account of the Univerfity of Fena.

fity, whofe moft eminent Profeffors he treats 
ina very friendly manner. The number of 
ftudents amounts to 600. The medical 
faculty in particular diftinguifhes itfelf. 
Loder, the celebrated anatomift, of whofe 
uleful Tabule Anatomice the fixth number 
has appeared, has an excellent delivery 
and method of teaching, and pofleffes a 
rare collection of anatomical preparations, 
which he is daily augmenting, by means 
of his extenfive correfpondence with every 
country of Europe. For fome years he 
has been the editor of an Anatomical, Chi- 
rurgical, and Obftetrical Fournal, in 
which an account is given of uncommon 
furgical cafes, illuftrated with copper- 
plates. This journal will be found very 
ufeful to thofe who with to be informed of 
the progrefs of anatomy, &c. in Germany. 
Dr. Gruner too, is highly efteemed for his 
great learning. When yet a very young 
man, he wrote his Cenfus Librorum Hip- 
pocraticorum. He reads Lectures .on the 
Hiftory of Medicine, and Semiotics, on 
which Jaft branch of medical fcience he has 
written an excellent compendium. Dr. 
Starké has been a very fuccefsful practi- 
tioner, and is phyfician to the Duke of 
Weimar. ‘The medical faculty of the 
Univerfity of Jena fuffered a great lofs by 
the removal of Hufeland to Berlin, whither 
he was invited by the King of Pruffia. 
To fupply his place, Dr. Himly, a moft 
fkilful occulift, was tranflated from Brunt{- 
wick to Jena, where he leétures on the 
Praétice of Medicine. About 150 ftudents 
of medicine attend ufually the Univerfity of 
Jena, which gives it a fuperiority in this 
refpeét over every other Univerfity in 
Germany. Next to Jena, the Univerfities 
of Wurzburg and Vienna are moft fre- 
quented by medical ftudents. In jena, 
the Brunonian fyftem has lately acquired 
many partizans, through the means of 
Profeflor Schelling, who has ingenioufly 
united it with his fyftem of philofophy : 
the fenior Profeffors, however, are not 
quite convinced of the truth of it. Pro- 
feflor Lenz, fuperintendant of the Myfeum, 
has. inftituted a Mineralogical’ Society, 
which meets once a-week, and has juft 
publithed the firft volume of their Tran 
aGlions. ‘This Society is compofed chiefly 
of ftudents, who, after their return to 
their own country, frequently fend curious 
and beautiful {pecimens of minerals as pre- 
fents, fo that they already poffefs a confi- 
derable collection. Mr. Bat/ch, Profeffor 
of Natural Hiftory and Botany, has efta- 
blifhed a fociety for the cultivation of Na- 
tural Hittory, which has produced many 
good effects, The Botanic-garden is well 
arranged,
