    shall always deem myself fortunate in having had the opportunity, from personal intercourse and perusal of his writings, of becoming intimately acquainted with him. Casimirro Sperino. Turin, November 21st, 1854. From Dr. C. Sedillot, Professor of Clinical Surgery at the Medical Faculty of Strashury; Surgeon-in-chief of the Military Hospital, Officer of the Legion of Honour, and Cor- responding Member of the French Institute. I certify that the numerous works of Mr. J. S. Gamgee, and particularly his remarkable memoirs on immovable apparatuses, and on pyohemia have placed him, in the opinion of his profes- sional brethren, amongst the most distinguished men of his pro- fession, and that he is justly considered as one of the young men destined to be the glorious representatives of their country and of science From Dr. Ferdinando Palasciano, Professor of Clinical Surgery and of Surgical Anatomy. Naples, 20th Dec, 1854. My dear Sir,—You honor me by calling for expression of the opinion I have formed of you. In the interviews I had with ybu here, and in various operations in which you assisted me, I learned to appreciate your profound knowledge. I not only deem you worthy of filling the post at the Free Hospital, but I am moreover certain that you will occupy one of the most remarkable positions in surgery that the United King- dom or the world has to offer. Palasciaho. To J. S. Gamgee, Esq. From Richard L. H. Btttcher, M-.B..!.A., late Member of the Council; Felloio and Licentiate of the Royal College of Sur - geons in Ireland ; Examiner on Surgery in the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in England; Surgeon to Mercers Hospital, and Lecturer on Clinical Surgery, Sfc, Sfc. From a careful perusal of Mr. Gamgee's work, Researches in Practical Anatomy and Clinical Surgery, I am deeply impressed with its value. The reflections and conclusions of this thoughtful surgeon con- vey forcibly to me the high order of his intellect, and the soundness of his practical deductions generally. Richard L. H. Butcher. Dublin, 19, Lower Fitzwilliam Street. November 3, 1856.
