    TO NATHANIEL CHAPMAN, M. D. PROFESSOR OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND CLINICAL MEDICINE, IN THE UNIVER- SITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. Bear Sir~-[n requesting your acceptance of this Discourse, I must be allowed to add, that my earliest partialities for the Society before which it was delivered, grew out of the ani- mated but ever courteous discussions in which you and the lamented Dorsey took such a leading share. The friend in earlier life of the tasteful and enthusiastic Dennie, and Editor o the choicest examples of the eloquence of the British Se- nate, you present in later years other claims on public regard in tie ornate diction and rich style in which you clothe the elaborate digests of medicine so ably and successfully present- ed in your Lectures and published works. Thus much, my dear Sir, of just eulogy I may appropriately convey to you, conscious as I am of having enjoyed and exer- cised the unrestricted right of free exposition of my sentiments, in a 1 matters of mutual interest and professional importance. ia ie ]i easurable relations of social intercourse, which it has been my good fortune to sustain with you, may ever sontinue undisturbed, is the sincere wish of Your obliged friend, JOHN BELL.
