IT is a common obfervation', and not unfre quently a true one, that every inltitution which exacts from a young man fome public tell: of his acquirements in the fcience which it embraces, previous to his receiving any of its honours; impofes on him the difagreeablc talk of publilh ing his ignorance and blunders to the world, Many reafons offer why this {hould be the cafe in medicine. The feience embraces fuch a variety offubjeas, as anatomy, chemistry, materia medica, the institutes and practice, that a man, who in the ufual time alloted to the ?udy, acquires a general knowledge of each, may be faid to have fpent his time well, without having firiétly attended to any particular fubjeét as def tined for a future difi'ertation. Add to this, that many men, whoii: knowledge is accurate and ex tenfive, are by no means calculated for authors.
