    NOTICE. I deem it necessary to state, that the following remarks were originally composed for the con¬ sideration of the President and Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, when I was a candidate for admission into that body. For reasons best known to these gentlemen, they refused to accept this as a Probationary Essay, consequently I found it necessary to withdraw it altogether, and get up for them a few remarks on a different subject. I take this opportunity of declaring, that this Essay is not now given to the public by way of advertisement/ nor with a view to raise or injure * There are many ways of advertising in this world. One man attracts the notice of the public by affixing a placard at the corner of every street, whilst another man, equally respec¬ table, courts notoriety, by calumnious attacks upon individual members of certain societies, more especially if these individuals possess any reputation.
