    God, is lioly and beatifvinL T . ^ } Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my Soul As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past; Let each new temple, nobler than the last, r,vn ? ^ith a dome more vast, 1 ill thou at length art free, Leavmg thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea. And now I have briefly to refer to the changes which have taken place ,n the teachers of this School. Since we last met he e Dr Arthur Gamgee has received the reward of his great abilities and scientific acquirements, by being appointed Professor of Practical Physiology m the Owen's School of Medicine, Manchester. S i am glad to say has been our only loss, if loss we can call it; for though It has been a great gain to Manchester, it can scarcely' be called a loss to us, since it has been the means of brinffini amongst us a man like Dr Pettigrew, whose researches into tlm anatomy of he heart, the mechanics of flight and of animal move- ment generally, and the physiology of the circulation, have already gained for him a^uropean name, which will no doubt be increased by the lectures on Physiology which he now commences. Dr Grain- ger Stewart, who is well known to you all, commences this year a course of Systematic Medicine. And we have, on the most import- ant subject of Insanity and Psychological Medicine, two new names to enrol—Dr Llouston, the successor in Morningside Asylum of our old and much-esteemed friend Dr Skae, whose inquiries have extended mainly m the direction of the therapeutics of insanity j and Dr Batty luke, whose name is well known as a most able investigator into the physical causes of insanity; both of these gentlemen we welcome as most important accessions, and I trust they may both receive au encouragement proportionate to their deserts. • flufeland's Enchiridion Medicura.
