    A N ABSTRACT, &c. IT is well known that Dr. Graham was mod regularly brought up to the profeffion of Medicine at the juftiy celebrated Umver- fity of Edinburgh, and that for many years paft. he has travelled over mod parts of the world, with the view of bringing to perfection this molt ufeful and molt honourable art.
