Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Lecture, Introductory to the Course on the Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the University of New York: Session 1847-8
IN appearing before you, gentlemen, on the present occasion, I can not but feel an Oppressive degree Of anxious solicitude. From my earliest days a student of medicine, I have for nearly a quarter of a century been engaged as a zealous votary and teacher of that science and my yearly increasing experience of its varied functions, has served to impress upon me, more and more deeply, the difficulty of attaining a knowledge of its elements, and of imparting that know ledge to others. I have learned, too, to appreciate more accurately and profoundly, the burdensome responsibilities of the office I have so long filled; responsibilities Of the gravest import at all times - the keen sense of which is unavoidably heightened by my removal hither, into a wider and loftier sphere of action than that in which my younger life has been past.
