The FitzPatrick Lectures ON GREEK MEDICINE IN ROME: Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians of London

Abstract

PRESIDENT. AND FELLows,-In calling me to deliver the FitzPatrick Lectures you have done me much honour; aid it would be an ill-timed however genuine a diffidence which might seem to disparage your election; I may, notwithstanding, hesitate for a moment as I regard the dignity of this place, and as I admire the services of my predecessors. In them we have had examples of wide and sound learning, of biographical skill and of anecdotal charm, which are above my hope, and I trust outside your comparisons. For such lists I am unarmed.
