    0 XXXI. From Robert Lee, M. D., F. R. S., Lecturer on Mid- wifery at St George’s Hospital, Physician-Accoucheur to the British Lying-in Hospital, and Mary-le-bone Infirmary. London, 17th July 1837. I have great satisfaction in expressing the high opi- nion which I entertain of the professional talents, zeal, and attainments of Dr William Thomson ; and my sincere conviction, that the reputation of the University of Edin- burgh will be greatly promoted by his appointment to the vacant Chair of Pathology. Dr Thomson has spent many years of hard study under the direction of his distinguished Father ; and has, besides, enjoyed opportunities of acquiring an accurate and extensive knowledge of Medicine in all its departments, which have fallen to the lot of few men in this country. From those who have been present when he offi- ciated for his Father, I have learned that he gave the best possible proof of his abilities to discharge the duties of a teachu. ROBERT LEE, M. D.
