    From William Pirrie, Esq., F.R.S.E., Professor of Surgery, University of Aberdeen.

It gives me very great pleasure to bear testimony to the excellent personal character and high professional acquire¬ ments of A. Dyce Davidson, M.B. and C.M., of this University.

Dr. Davidson has since then acquired much practical knowledge of his profession at the Dispensary of this City, and in private practice as an Assistant. Altogether, I consider Dr. Davidson to be a gentlemen of great promise
