    [No. 8.] I have very great pleasure in stating that Mr. H. B. Norman filled the situations of Dresser and House Surgeon under me, at the University College Hospital, with great credit to himself and advan¬ tage to the Institution. Mr. Norman possesses a most thorough knowledge of his Profession, and is admirably qualified to fill the office of Surgeon to a Dispensary. 5, Clifford Street, January 2nd, 1843. ROBERT LISTON. [No. 9.] I have known Mr. H. Burford Norman during several years* and am enabled from personal observation to bear strong testimony to the excellence of his character, as well as to his attainments in professional knowledge. In the course of his studies, Mr. Norman became successively Surgeon’s Dresser and House Surgeon in the Hospital with which I have the honor to be connected, and in discharging the duties of these offices, he attached to himself general confidence and respect. Since he has settled in practice, Mr. Norman has displayed the same zeal for improvement in practical Surgery ; and I entertain no doubt whatever, of his being not only an industrious but skilful Surgeon. R. QUAIN, Professor of Anatomy in University College, Keppel Street, July 24th, 1848. and Stirgeon to the Hospital. [No. 10.] Having been well acquainted with Mr. Norman for many years, I can with pleasure bear my testimony to his character and attain¬ ments. Mr. Norman has enjoyed ample opportunities for the study of his profession, including various appointments in University College Hos¬ pital. He has been uniformly zealous and industrious, and his attainments are, in my opinion, highly respectable. He has filled the office of House Surgeon in University College Hospital, the appoint¬ ment having been made by public competition, and after a searching examination into the claims of the various candidates. Mr. Norman’s private character is unexceptionably good, as I can state from much public and private intercourse with him. From my knowledge of his abilities, attainments and general character, I believe Mr. Norman to be well qualified for the duties of a Surgeon, either in a public Institution or in private practice.
