Notwithstanding the gf ave
and ierious tone you have alTumed in
your attack updn the farmer and altho’
you may not be hurried on by the impe
tuous impulfe of paffibn yet if yob will
allow me to judge from the complexion
V C of your letter I flictuld be difpofed to
think that you viewed the fubjedt thro'
cloud of prejudice and that yod were
not aw ire of the dangerous confequences
which (hull enfue if your pofitidn were
admitted
The method you have taken to refute
the Farmer favours fo much of quib
iw bling and Squints fo little at the merits
J of the Subject which 1 deem important
'yhat I dull pafs over a great part dfyour

due weight with dn impartial public in

more confidence) than Philo-Medicus
Yoii begin With an extradt from the
Farmer) as being a misrepresentation of
v the expreffioni of Medieus— this you
might have omitted unlefs you proceed
i ed upon the fuppofitiuh that the people
fwere deftitute of common linderfianding
j de-'-Jide and of courfe could not compare and
for them Selves But what aid did
we derive from your remarks That
1 man might be an adept in the healing
art wh j had never undergone thb fotnia
lity of an examination” This is fe ob
Vtous to the molt vulgar apprehension
that to attempt a proof of it argues a
want of lOtrlledt Rut from your very
'profound enquiry I colleft one thing
' that an Examination makes not the phy
v Ccian—that it is only m certain form of
)' initiation for the addition of a member
into the privileged order Yet howe
ver nfcIiTs the inftitution might be 1
ihonld be willing to admit it in the

Serious and alarming
: 1 fer dcfigned to place ttie ray-
