    From George Dickie, Esq., M.D., Professor of Botany, University of Aberdeen. Aberdeen, August 26th, 1868. Dr. A. Ogston has been known to me for some years, and I have much satisfaction in giving testimony respect¬ ing his merits and qualifications. While a student at our Medical School, he was not¬ able for diligence in the study of the various departments of his profession. Towards the end of his course he studied at Vienna, one of the most famous of European Medical Schools. I cannot pretend to offer any opinion of his qualifica¬ tions as an Ophthalmic Surgeon, but I know that he has specially devoted attention to the affections of the eye, and his zeal in this special and most important branch is evident from the fact that since he settled in Aberdeen, he has supported, at his own expense, a Dispensary for Diseases of the Eye. The experience there acquired gives him the strongest claims to the appointment for wThich he is a candidate. (Signed) G.

I have very great pleasure in bearing testimony to Dr.
