    in the medical profession, for the scattered ori- ginal essays from ■which it must have been com- piled. Physiology can only be adequately taught in Anatomical Theatres, when the Lectures of each year contain the discoveries of the preceding, and when the Lecturer turns from the actual demon- stration of parts, to explain their uses. A treatise on Physiology, however excellent, can be of little service, except to those, who either are, or have been, engaged in such a course of study. He who is acquainted with the healthy struc- ture and functions of the body, is qualified to in- vestigate disease. Anatomy is the first step in a medical education ; Physiology the second ; Pa- thology the third:—without the two former. Medicine and Surgery would be empirical arts, founded upon no principles, continually changing to suit the cleverest theory of the day, and cal- culated to be as destructive, as they are now beneficial to mankind. 19, George-Street, Hanover-Square, January 1, 1827.
