There is something in the look of the patient, in his eyes, his voice* his manner, which no description can convey, and which it is the principal object of Clinical Practice to illustrate. I cannot conclude,, gentlemen, without ex¬ pressing my thanks to Dr. Dacosta for the zeal and readiness with which he has offered to assist me in this undertaking. That gentleman, who has already distinguished himself in Edinburgh, by the able assistance he has afforded to the Clinical professors in this arduous department, will draw up the cases, and write out our Clinical Reports. It is a task of considerable labour, and which re¬ quires much judgment and information; but I know, both from my own acquaintance with Dr. Dacosta, and from the testimony of several friends, that I can with confidence rely upon him for all these advantages. Gentlemen, I shall hope to meet you in the Clinical wards, on Thursday, precisely at twelve o’clock. G. Woodfaix, Printer, Angel Court, Skinner Street, London,
