Abstracts
The design of the professorship which I have the honour to hold in this university, is to explain the practice of medicine, by which I understand, the art of preserving health, of prolonging life, and of curing diseases. This is an art of great extent and importance; and for this all your former medical studies were intended to qualify you (Gregory, 1772c, p. 2).
