             In  the preceding  list are enumerated those  writings on
          medicine  and the auxiliary branches of  science,  an  ac-
          quaintance with 'which  is deemed essential  to constitute
          the  basis of a medical education ;  and though it is not ex-
          pected that any  student, however laborious,  can  render
          himself familiar with them during  the short  period of time
          to which his studies  are necessarily limited, yet it  is  to be
          hoped, that thus seeing a  plan of study before him,  he  will
 ^\f   »remit,no honourable exertion to its successful acquisition.
* "• * ***Vl*hev*works of those  distinguished  writers  will have taught
          him duly to  appreciate  the  dignity and  importance of his
          profession, and  in the intervals of practice he will be in-
          duced  to complete whatever of this  outline he shall have
          left imperfect.*   .      *   «^

is  also constantly open to  the  student  for the sake  of
reference  and  more  satisfactory information.   In  addi-
tion to this source of instruction, he is  also supplied with
anatomical preparations, casts in plaster, coloured engra-
vings, chemical tests, a~ cabinet of mineralogy, with other
apparatus necessary to make the pupil acquainted with the
structure of the human frame, the nature of its diseases, the
natural history,  chemical  analysis, and pharmaceutical
preparations of those articles which  compose the materia
medica.  For the more complete accomplishment of his plan,
Dr.  Hosack has associated  himself with John W.  Fran-
cis,  M. D., the Professor of the Institutions of Medicine in
this  University, by whose assistance he is enabled to afford
to his pupils the advantages of daily private lectures and
examinations throughout the  year.
   Suitable apartments  for study are also provided for the
accommodation of the pupil,  and such regulations adopted
as will secure the benefits both of  a  private and a public
system of instruction.
