3. The extent and period of study allowed to be gone throughat a provincial school will be regulated by the means and faci-lity of study which the college receive evidence of its affording;but the lectures delivered at a provincial school will be heldas qualifying for only one year’s course of study, umless-speciallyrecognised for more.

In Glasgow, members of the faculty of phy-sicians and surgeons of that city. 6th.

The college will not recognise any course of lectures de-livered subsequently to 1st May, 1839, by a professor or teacherwho lectures upon more than one’of the branches of instructionincluded in their curriculum: nor will they recognise anycourse of lectures delivered by a professor or teacher who, inaddition to the said course, lectures upon a branch of instruc-tion, medical or general, not included in-the curriculum, unlesssuch professor or teacher shall have obtained special leave fromthe college to do so.

3. Notwithstanding the above regulation, the teaching oftwo branches, as in the following instances, may be undertakenby one individual without disqualification being incurred-viz., Anatomy and Practical Anatomy; Chemistry and Prac-tical Chemistry; Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine;Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery; Mathematics andMechanical Philosophy; and, for the present, Clinical Medi-cine or Clinical Surgery may be taught in conjunction withany one of the other courses of education prescribed by thecurriculum, by a physician or surgeon qualified according tothe regulations of the college, and attached to a public hos-pital of the size which those regulations prescribe.!

COURSE OF STUDY.

1. Preliminary Imtruction,Every candidate for the diplomaof the Royal College must, either previously to or during hismedical education, have received regular instruction in theelements of mathematics; and must have subsequently attendeda course of mechanical philosophy of at least’three months’duration, and of not fewer than sixty lectures.

2. Professional Instruction. The candidate must have beenengaged in attending the following separate and distinct coursesof lectures during a period of not less than twenty-sevenmonths; in which must have been included three winter ses-sions of six months’ duration each :Anatomy, two courses,"+- six months each.

tomy, twelve months. Chemistry, one course, six months.Practical Chemistry, (the number of pupils in each class beinglimited to 25,) one course, three months. Materia Medica andPharmacy, one course, six months. Institutions of Medicineor Physiology, one course, six months. Practice of Medicine,one course, six months. Clinical Medicine,§ one course, sixmonths; or two courses,* three months each; during the periodof his attendance at the hospital where they are delivered.Principles and Practice of Surgery, two courses,* six monthseach; or Principles and Practice of Surgery, and Military Sur-gery,1I one course,* six months each.

In all cases of special recognitions, proof ofcapability, and of the applicant possessing the-requisite apparatus for illus-trating his lectures, will be required.

t In making the above concession respecting clinical medicine and sur-gery, the college wish it to be understood that this is done rather in con-sideration of the present state and arrangements of existing schools, thanfrom their entertaining any doubt that the teaching of either of thosebranches, in addition to his hospital duties, would afford ample occupationfor a teacher.

t The two courses must not be simultaneous. Clinical medicine and clinical surgery must not be attended at the same

time.

11 The course of military surgery must be delivered by a professor of thatbranch in a university; or by a lecturer who, in addition to the other requi-site qualifications, has served in the medical department of the army ornavy; and the course -must be of at least six months’ duration, and com-prehend not fewer than sixty lectures.

Thosewho produce certificates of having been, for the space of atleast two years, private pupils or apprentices to regularlylicensed medical practitioners, keeping laboratories for dis-pensing medicines, shall be exempted from attendance on thisbranch of instruction.

3. The six months’ courses delivered in Edinburgh mustconsist of not fewer than 110 lectures, with the exception ofclinical medicine, clinical surgery, and military surgery. Thethree months’ courses must consist of not fewer than sixtylectures. Two London courses of three months each, on anyof the above subjects, will be taken as equivalent to one sixmonths’ course.

If he have been an apprentice, he shallalso insert the name of his master, the date of his indenture,and the length of time for which he was bound. This state-ment, accurately filled up, must be attested by his signature.

5. Unsuccessful candidates will be remitted to their studies,for a period to be determined by the judgment of the exami-ers ; but not, in any case, less than three months.

6. The president, if he judge it proper, may order a meetingfor examination on any day, at the request of a candidate; butin that case the candidate must pay two guineas in additionto the customary fees; and this money will not be returnedto him in the event of his being remitted.

Fees payable by Candidates.-The sum payable for a diplomaat present is £7 5s. To those who complete their course ofstudy in April next, or afterwards, it will be £10.The sums stated above include all fees of every kind, and

the officer is prohibited from receiving any.By a legal opinion of the Attorney-General and of Mr.

Martin, given in 1843, with reference to the construction ofthe English Poor-Law Amendment Act, it is established, thatthe licentiates of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in Scotlandand in Ireland are exactly on the same footing in England, asto privilege in surgery, with the members of the Royal Col- lege of Surgeons of England. The following is an extractfrom the opinion :-

" We are of opinion that, as far as the question of surgeryis concerned, those persons who have a surgical diploma ordegree from a Royal College or University in Scotland orIreland, are (in point of law) as competent to be appointedand to act as medical officers under the statute referred to, asthe persons who have the diploma of the Royal College ofSurgeons of London:’-(The whole history of this law opinionwill be found in the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal,-Vol. Ix. p. 462.)
