Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introductory Lecture, Read at the Commencement of the Course: Monday, November 9th, 1846
When all is thus in motion around us, it is difficult, if not impossible, that we should stand still if we were inclined; and our profession, as you know, has been from the earliest times given to the desire of change and the hope of improvement. Medical reform is the order of the day; and those who know best the condition of things in medicine, whether considered as an art or a science, are most thoroughly convinced of the reason ableness of the demand, and the call for prompt com pliance with it - the inevitable necessity of vigorous and earnest action. This will appear clearly whether we regard our actual position internally and absolutely, or externally in our social relations to the community, and comparatively with other departments of learning.
