Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy. — It  was  with  great  pleasure 
that  we  received  the  announcement  that  "  the  Massachusetts  College  Of 
Pharmacy  proposed  to  inaugurate  a  course  of  lectures  on  chemistry,  ma- 
teria medica,  botany  and  pharmacy,  and  to  offer  the  apothecaries  of  New 
England  an  opportunity,  so  long  desired,  to  improve  and  perfect  them, 
selves  in  their  profession."  The  following  letter  from  Prof.  Markoe 
enables  us  to  say  that  our  Boston  friends  have  made  a  most  excellent 
beginning,  and  will  we  doubt  not  continue  to  do  well.  They  have  our 
cordial  sympathy  and  encouragement  to  persevere.
