![TIIE MEDICAL SESSION 1829-30. THE LANCET. London, Saturday, September 26, 1829. We have this week taken some pains to furnish medical students with an accurate list of the Lectures with which the session of 1829-30 is about to commence. It was our intention to have thrown out a few hints upon the possible advantages which some of the institutions afford ; but the prospectuses from which our accounts have been taken, were, in several instances, delivered so late, that we find it impossible to offer any ob- servations in detail upon the comparative advantages of the schools. It cannot be ex- pected that we should at any time enter into an invidious comparison of the merits of the different teachers, but it will be our ob- ject next week, without meaning the slightest disrespect to those lecturers, whose names we may pass over in silence, to en- deavour to point out to the student, where he may fix himself with a fair prospect of obtaining that information which it is his business to acquire, at the least possible cost and inconvenience. The hints we shall offer, will be dictated in a spirit of perfect impar- tiality, and will be founded upon a tolerably accurate knowledge of the subject. Students should know, that the lecture-rooms and hospitals are generally open to all, without an admission fee, until about the end of the first week of the session; and they will find Saturday, October the third, sufficiently early to determine upon their selection. We cannot too strongly urge the propriety of their exercising great caution in this mat- ter, os the least reflection must convince them that their fortunes hang upon the issue. The established practitioner must be too sensible of the value, to the student, of such a list as the one we have published, to view with indifference, or regret, the extended space which it occupies. THE MEDICAL AND SUHGICAL SCHOOLS OF LONDON. Session 1829-30. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. The following medical classes will open on Thursday the 1st of October, with the exceptions afterwards stated, and will con- tinue to the middle of May, without any in- terruption, except for a few days at Christ- mas and Easter. Anatomy, Physiology, Comparative Ana- tomy, Surgery, Clinical Surgery, Nature and Treatment of Diseases, Clinical Medi- cine, Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children, Materia Medica and Thera- peutics, Chemistry, Medical Jurisprudence, and Dissections and Demonstrations. The class of Botany will open on the 1st of April, and continue for three months. Students should enter their names previ- ously to the commencement of the classes, or very soon after: fees to be paid at the office of the University. Studentsnominated by a pro- prietor must bring a written nomination, but no particular form is necessary. Those who, during the last session, were nominees of proprietors, are not required to renew their nomination. It will be observed that the following classes continue from October to the middle of May, and the larger fee is for the whole course ; hut for the convenience of the stu- dents the course may be divided into two parts, and a separate fee be paid for each. [The amount of one first and two second divisions, constitutes the charge for a per- petual entrance to either of the courses.] LECTURES.
