    TESTIMONIALS. i. IFrom the late Thomas Shortt, M.D., F.R.S.E., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Physician to the Royal Infir- mary of Edinburgh, and Lecturer on Clinical Medicine. [ [This Testimonial, and the following one, though obtained several years ago, when first entering upon professional life, are included in the present series, both from respect for the memory of the writers and the value still attached to the favourable opinion expressed by them.] Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, October 3, 1835. I hereby certify that Dr. George Paterson, a Gradu- ate of this University, acted for upwards of twelve months as my Clerk, in this Hospital. He was previously en- trusted with the Pathological department of the house, and lhas since been attached to the Surgical Wards. In all these situations he has given very great satisfaction, and has shown a degree of zeal, talent, and industry, that is seldom to be met with. Dr. Paterson has had the advant- age of a most liberal education, both literary and profes- sional ; and I have great pleasure in being able to add that I consider his attainments to be of the highest order. THOMAS SHORTT.
