on medical education. As an examiner Of the
London University, he complains that the
knowledge exhibited by candidates for degrees
in medicine is not precise or practical; and he

cal man, AZ it would be to put man to the
manufacture Of steel, because, as surgeon, he
rarativc anatomy he would get nd OF alto
