    In acquaintance with the literature of our profession, both foreign and domestic, you are surpassed by none, and equalled by few. Your character is upright and independent, and your de¬ meanour ever that of the scholar and the gentleman. To talents of the highest order, you have added a remark¬ able industry and love of labour, which refuses even now to let you settle on that varied and extensive store of knowledge wherewith most men would gladly be content. Your age at once protects you against the rashness of youth, yet leaves you full of manly energy for the prosecution of every duty, to which, in your professional liability, you may be called. Altogether, I really do not know of any man who can ad¬ vance stronger or better claims for the office which you now solicit; and wishing you success, on the high ground of pre¬ eminent merit, I am, my dear Sir, most truly yours, JAS. MILLER. Dr Charles Wilson. III. From James Begbie, M.D., F.R.C.P., and F.R.S.E., Physician to the Queen in Scotland. Dr Charles Wilson is well known as a highly accomplished physician. He is intimately acquainted with the literature of his profession, and has long laboured assiduously and success¬ fully in the practice of it. As a scholar, as a man of science and of skill, and as a gentleman, Dr Wilson is well qualified to adorn the highest position which his profession opens to him. J. BEGBIE. Edinbuboii, July 10, 1857.
