Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on the Impolicy of Multiplying Schools of Medicine
That it may be fitted to communicate information, in these several ways, with benefit to its pupils and the public, and credit to itself, the institution must possess a corresponding variety of suitable means. Besides buildings adapted to its different purposes, it must have a sufficient number of well qualified Professors - men, who are not only rich in their possession of the preper kind of knowledge, but happy in their mode of imparting it, both orally and in writing; add to this a library competent in size, and judiciously selected, a full suit of chemical apparatus, and an anatomical museum, with other facilities for communicating instruction in the lat ter branch of science. With these resources, adminis tered with sufficient ability and skill, the school must neces sarily do much good, and acquire reputation. Without them, it cannot fail to prove discreditable in itself, degrade the profession it ought to exalt, and endanger the lives of the community, by sending among them, to take charge of their health, a tribe of superficially educated physicians. Hence, in founding an institution of the sort, the first thing to be done is, to furnish it with the requisite means to instruct.
