    TO THE STUDENTS ATTKNDINO the school of medicine AT SURGEONS’ HALL, EDINBURGH. Gentlemen, The connection subsisting between us induces me to dedicate to you the Mowing Address, which was delivered at the opening of our New School, and which is now published at the request of those to whose opinion it is my duty to defer. I shaH not regret that I complied with their request, should my doing so have the effect of stimulating you to an ardent pursuit after principles in Medicine. The possession of these principles, be assured, wiU increase your interest in the practice of your art, and will add much to your com- fort in the discharge of your professional duties. These are objects which, as a Teacher of Medicine, I have ever sought to promote, and to which, I trust, the publication of the Mowing pages may contribute. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ALEXANDER WOOD. 19 Royal Circus, 27th November, 1849.
