REPORT OF THE 
The lectures on Chemistry will be delivered by Robert 
Bridges, M. D. 
In this course, a systematic view of the science and its 
present condition will be presented to the student. 
The imponderable substances will first attract attention, 
and sufficient time be devoted to caloric, to elucidate its 
laws and practical applications. 
The ponderable bodies will be introduced by a conside- 
ration of the reactions of chemical affinity and the laws of 
chemical combination, with some notice of symbols or 
chemical notation. 
Individual elements, under their distinct classes, will be 
then noticed, and the inorganic combinations resulting from 
their union will be considered in such relations to them as 
may facilitate their acquisition by the learner. Every 
article of any importance will be described and exhibited both 
in the crude and perfect condition, and the processes for their 
production or formation detailed, and when practicable 
shown. Commercial impurities (whether of design or acci- 
dent) will receive their requisite attention, together with 
the best and easiest modes for detecting and purifying the 
adulterated articles. 
Organic chemistry will finally receive its full share of at- 
tention, and all its compounds, possessing either general or 
pharmaceutical interest, will be brought under consideration. 
Illustration by experiment and diagram will be intro- 
duced wherever they maybe rendered available, to convey 
a knowledge of the fundamental principles of the science, 
through every channel for the reception of important truths. 
The Lectures on Pharmacy will be delivered by William 
Procter, Jr. 
This course will commence with the consideration of 
the elementary operations which are required in the 
preparation of medicines. They include, for instance, 
the management of heat, the manipulations in the pro- 
cesses of pulverizing, dissolving, evaporating, distilling,
