    A lengthened correspondence passed between the com- mittee and the secretary of state for the home department, as also with the London medical corporations. Sir Ro- bert Peel, at that time at the head of the Home Office, entered warmly into the question, honoured a deputation of the society with an interview, put himself in communi- cation with the medical corporations on the subject of the memorials addressed to him, and allowed a great part of the correspondence which passed between them and the society to be transmitted through his office. All the objects which the society proposed have since been carried into effect, except the change in the consti- tution of the council of the College of Surgeons; and thus, to the perseverance of a very few members of the profession may justly be attributed the adoption of mea- sures fraught with the highest possible advantage to the community, inasmuch as they tend to enhance the ac- quirements of the great mass of English practitioners. n 2
