    [No. 14.] I am intimately acquainted with Mr. Burford Norman, and have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the excellence both of his professional and private character. I believe the Governors of the Dispensary (for the appointment of Surgeon to which he is now a Candidate) could not select a gentleman more competent to the duties of that office, or more likely to do honour to their choice ; and I am sure the poor objects of the charity would receive at his hands the most humane and patient attention. 15, Park Street, Bri.tol, W.
