    the Revue ties Deux Monties, that the discoveries of one age are a source of retardation to the next age, unavoidably applies to medicine. For the occult nature of our subject matter implies that a new discovery must often be at va- riance with an old one, and not prove a development or addition to it. But there are other grounds for the above censure more within our own control; and these, I believe, would best be removed bv our fashioning the minds of our junior members—first, on those principles of antecedent education which have been so admirably laid down by the present President of the Royal College of Surgeons; secondly, on those principles of objective inquiry and reasoning which 1 have endeavoured with more zeal than ability to shadow forth. 56, Wimpole Street, Feb. 25. 1850.
