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 remit no honourable exertion to its successful acquisition. The 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. vate library of Dr. Hosack, consisting of the valuable medical writings, ancient and modern, is constantly open to the student for the sake of refer- ee and more satisfactory information. In addition to this source of instruction, he is also supplied with anatomi- cal preparations, casts in plaster, coloured engravings, che- mical 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 his- tory, chemical analysis, and pharmaceutical preparation of those articles which compose the materia medica. For the more complete accomplishment of his plan, Dr. Hosack has associated himself with John W. Francis, M. D. the Professor of the Institutions of Medicine and of Forensic Medicine in this University, by whose assistance he is enabled to afford to his pupils the advantages of daily pri- vate 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.
