them at least is so , we have here a decisive and cheering proof . J ^ T > r . Conolly is a very young man * whose miri&cari scarcely % eboifei 36 refd as rasbured ;; itet itis endowed witfadearness and length , iand is combined with excellent 'feeing and Strict recti $ u&e <* f purpose , it fe , perhaps * thfe most fortunate thing that eouH have happened to a mind so constituted , that it should thus early be placed in an exceedingly responsible and arduous situation ; nor , if we augnr rightly of the diligence , and activity to wiifch it will find itself stimulated , will it be less fortunate for the
youthful rminds of which it will have the professional instruction and direction . Terete is nothing more hopeless than middle-aged mediocrity ; nothing on which hope may more reasonably base any bright vision she may be in the humour to construct , than a young mind with vigorous faculties , called upon to exert the utmost of its powers by the necessity of performing duties which cannot be adequately performed without a combination of the highest qualities , intellectual and moral ; which cannot be unperformed without
pwlic disgrace ; which cannot be wdll performed without honour , liberally bestowed the moment it is earned . I > r . Conolly writes in an easy and graceful style ; animated , without rising to vigour ; m general perspicuous , although occasionally the length of the sentences , and somewhat too free a use of epithets , render the meaning not at once perceptible . Moreover , the structure of the sentences is not always harmonious , nor even correct ;
but these are faults which time and care will certainly remove . In this Lecture he has given proof that it will be his own fault if ne do riot acquire a very excellent style of writing ; and among the many nipre important subjects which he will find press uj ^ n hte attek ^ exhort him not to neglect this . : ; v Dr . Conolly thus states the intellectdar eridpwujeffts which are ^ e ^ uired in the successful prosecution of the medical profession : r ;
"Theprofession to which you hwe devoted yourselves Gei * tleroen , requires for its successful prosecution , not a suppression ; of the higher faculties of tlie mind , but an union of them , with a facility o $ applying the facts discbyered in many sciences to a practical « rt of the utnio ^ t importance to
