TO THE PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT, TREA-
SURER, COMMITTEE, AND GOVERNORS GI7
THE OPTHALMIC INFIRMARY, MOORFIELDS.
MY LORDS, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN,
(AN account of the pressure of business al
V the OPHTHALMIC INFIRMARY, your CO*
MITTEE have deemed it expedient to take into their con•
sideration the appointment of an ASSISTANT SURGEON
to that ESTABLISHMENT.
I beg leave consequently to offer myself as a Candidate
for the situation ; having been during some years intimately,
though not officially, connected with your excellent Cha-
rity, and having delivered, during the last'summer, is
connection with its present Medical Officers, a course 01e
Lectures on the Physiology and minute Anatomy of the
Eye, I trust it will not be deemed presumption in me
to solicit the support of your Votes and Interests at the
approaching Election.
Allow me further to submit to your notice the following
testimonials received from Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., and
Dr. Farre; and to add, that I shall shortly lay before each
Governor numerous certificates and testimonials from the
most distinguished Physicians and Surgeons of the times.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
JOHN DALRYMPLE.
8, New Broad-street, May 10, 1830.
TO THE GOVERNORS OF VIE OPTHALMIC
INFIRMARY, MOORFIELDS.
As one of the earliest Friends and Governors of your
excellent Institution, I beg, in the strongest manner, CO
recommend Mr. John Dalrymple as Assistant-Surgeon to
the Establishment.
Highly gifted in talents by nature, and having exerted
himself to the utmost to acquire surgical knowledge gene-
rally, and opthalmic knowledge particularly, and having
given Lectures on the Anatomy and Physiology of the Eye!,
he is pecularly calculated to do credit to your choice, and
to further the interests of your invaluable Institution.
I have the honour to be, your most obedient,
May 9, 1830. ASTLEY COOPER.

DEAR SIR,---The Committee of the London Ophthal'
mic Infirmary in surrendering to the Governors their right
of electing Medical Officers, intended that the Candidate
should be subjected to that sifting of talent which is con-
nected with a public canvass.
Your having called upon me to certify the facts in rela-
tion to yourself, which had fallen under my own ot,serva-
tion, and my duty as well as my inclination lead me, to
comply with your reque,t.
I selected you to lecture on the minute anatomy and
physiology of the eye to the students of the Infirmary, not
as a matter of favour, but from actual observa-
tion of your high attainments in practical anatomy.
I have tried your talent for observation at the In-
firmary, in recording in their series morbid appear-
ances, which are intricate and complex, and am sa-
tisfied with your patience in watching, your fidelity in
reporting, and the truth to nature in combining the facts
which constitute the history of obscure Opthalmic Sur-
gery. I have afforded you the opportunity in private of
condecting the treatment of disorganizing inflammation
of the Eye, where the least judgment was required to
arrest the disease, and your success in restoring vision has
fully answered my expectation.
Whatever may be the result of the present canvass,
which will, lam persuaded, be conducted by you with
the utmost urbanity (for true science disdains all vitupera•
tive aid), your character, both as a Surgeon and an
Opthalmic Surgeon, will be fully established by the testi-
mony of others; but, above all, I, who have also expe-
rienced the skill and tenderness with which you can ope-
rate, will never he slow to acknowledge your claims to
public favour.
I remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN RICHARD FARRE.
