    XIX. From J. Halliday Croom, M.B., Edin.; L.R.C.P., & L.R.C.S. of Edin.; Assistant to the Professor of Midwifery in the Uni- versity of Edinburgh; formerly Assistant to the Professor of the Practice of Medicine; Fellow of the Obsteti'ical Society, and Member of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Edinburgh; Physi- cian to the Fountain Bridge Dispensary, Src. 9 Brougham Place, Edinburgh, 5th August, 1872. An intimate personal acquaintance with Dr. MfNEAS Munro during the past twelve years has afforded me every opportunity of observing, and entitles me to speak with assurance as to his professional abilities and fitness for the vacant Chair of Medical Jurisprudence in the Andersonian University. After enjoying a very thorough literary education in the Edinburgh University, Dr. Munro entered upon a success- ful and distinguished career as a Student in the Edinburgh Medical School. Throughout he was a constant, earnest and enthusiastic student, and the success that accompanied his devotion to his studies is best evidenced by the honours he obtained in the various branches, more especially in Medical Juris- prudence and Midwifery. Dr. Munro was a favourite pupil of the late Sir James Simpson, who placed so great confidence in his ability as to appoint him his Private Resident Assistant. This alone is sufficient testimony as to Dr. , Munro’s professional attainments. To the subject of Mental disease—of the utmost importance to the Medical Jurist—Dr. Munro has paid much and special attention both at College and sub- sequently as Resident Assistant Physician in two different Asylums for the insane.
