    Wo MEDICAL SOCIETIES: THEIR ORGANIZATION AND THE NATURE OF THEIR i WORK. " This may be considered the birthday of medical honors in America," wrote the Provost of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, in recording the first medical commencement held in its college hall on June 21, 1768, and the occasion did mark the beginning of a new era for medicine.1 Two years before, a State Medical Society had been formed in New Jersey,2 but with this and one or two trivial exceptions, no attempt had been made to organize or instruct medical men on this side of the Atlantic. Previous to this period, those who desired a medical diploma were obliged to seek it in the mother country ; but out of the three J thousand physicians then in practice, it has been esti mated that not over four hundred had received the degree of M. D. from a medical college.8 Many of the practitioners of medicine were also clergymen, 1 Extracts from the Life and Correspondence of Rev. William Smith, D. D.

Reprintedfor Private Circulation ^rom the Morning Post^ %%th July, 1859. LONDON PRINTED BY J. E. ADLARD, BARTHOLOMEW CLOSE. .875. PREFATORY NOTE. I WROTE the following slight sketch of the life and character of Principal Lee of the University of Edinburgh in July, 1859, about two months after his death; and I published it anonymously on the 28th of July, 1859, in a London newspaper—The Morning Post. Recently, I met a gentleman who knew Principal Lee well, as a public man, in the last twenty years of his career. We fully discussed Kim. In the course of our conversation, the gentleman referred admiringly to my sketch in the Morning Post., neither knowing nor suspecting that I was the biographer he was commending. He expressed great regret at having lost a copy of the article in question which he had cut from an Edinburgh newspaper, where it was re- produced on its first appearance. The accidental interview now mentioned originated the idea of printing copies for a few friends. Believing my sketch to be nearly correct in its biographical details, and a fairly successful attempt to portray a very re- markable character, I have abstained from alterations and 4- PREFATORY NOTE.
