MEDICINE. 
In this fcience, as in philofophy, 
there are now feveral fects: phyficians 
of the oldand the new fchoo]. ‘Lhe lat- 
ter, viz. the Brunonians, are again fplit 
into different parties, fome adhering 
ftrictly to the theory of Brown, and 
others enlifting under the banners of Dr. 
Rof{chlaub, now Profeflor in the univer- 
fity of Landfhut, who applies Schel- 
ling’sPhilofophy of Nature to the farther 
developement of that theory. To this 
purpofe his ‘* Magazin zur Vervol- 
kommung der Medicin,” is exclulively 
devoted. This magazine contains 
many ingenious treatifes on the Bru- 
nonian Theory; but it muit at the 
fame time be owned, that we find in it 
many {til problematical aflertions, and 
frequently moit virulent attacks upon, 
not only the phyficians of the old ichool, 
but likewife iuch as are indeed inclined 
towards the Brunonian doétrine, but 
do not waolly agree with Roichlaud. 
Perhaps this violent poiemicai tone ren- 
ders his journal the more acceptable ; 
at leait it is certain, that it is read very 
generally by triends and foes. It is 
probable, however, that the *¢ Journal 
der Prattiichen Arznczkunde (jour- 
nal ter Prattical Medicine), edited 
by HuFELAND, the ceienrated author 
et the ‘Art of Proionging Lite,” 
7 
Retrofpect of German Literature— Medicines 
formerly Profeffor at Jena, but now 
Phyfician to the King of Pruffia, at 
Berlin, hasa more extenfive c'rculation. 
Hufeland likewife publifhes a ** Biblo- 
thek der Praéti{chen Heilkunde (Li- 
brary of Praétical Medicine) ; to which 
has been added a ¢ Journal der aufian- 
difchen Medicinifchen Literatur, (Jour- 
nal of Foreign Medical Literature), 
edited conjointly by Hufeland, Schreyer, 
and Harles, of Erlangen. 
Several other collections appropriated 
to particular branches of medica {ci- 
ence were continued. 
IsENFLAMM and RoOSENMULLER, of 
Eriangen, gave us “‘ Beytrage fiir die 
Zergliederungs-kaunft?? —- (Contribu- 
tions towards the Science of Anato- 
my); and Reix, of Haile, continved 
to diffuse in his ** Archiv fiir Phyfio- 
logie,”” his theory founded upon the 
mixture and form of matter in the bo- 
dies of animals. — 
WINKELMANN, a young phyfician 
of Gottingen, and a partizan of Schel- 
ling’s Philofophy of Nature, publithed 
an ‘ Einleitung in die Dynamifche 
Pahyfiologie” (Introduction to Dyna- 
mic Phytiology. . 
Several works and Thefes publifhed - 
at various other Univerfities of Ger- 
many, evince the prevalence of the 
new iyftem of medicine there, efpecially 
at Vienna, the phyficians of which 
place have moft faithfully adhered te 
the original doétrine of Brown. 
Dr. Mever publifhed a “ Samm- 
lung Medizinifch-Praktifcher Beobach- 
tungen, aus der Klinik zu Wien,” 
(Colleétion of Praétical Clinical Obfer- 
vation), with notes by the celebrated 
Dr. Frank, Inf{pector General of the 
Hofpitals; and Dr. ZIMMERMANN en- 
deavoured te facilitate the ftudy of the 
Brunonian theory by his ‘* Medico- 
Paijofophical Diétionary.” 
Dr. Hartmann furnifbed an “ A- 
nalyfe der neuern Hetlkunde,” (A- 
nalyfis of the new Syftem of Medi- 
cine) ; and SCHORNDORFER began an 
‘* Unterfuchung der Grundsa:ze der 
Erregungs ‘Vheorie durch die Grund- 
satze der Humorallehre, als Beytrage 
zur Verein beyder Lehren” (The Prin- 
ciples of the Humoral Doétrine apphed 
to an Inveitigation of the Principles of 
the neory of Excitability ; being a 
Contribution towards an Union of the 
two Theories), which’ vili probably 
not effect the purpofe the autnor had 
in view. But that at Vienna too there 
are fome friends left of the old fchool 
of medicine, appears from the “¢ Me- 
dicini.ches
