    i^roJH James Miller, Esq., F.R.S., Professor of Surgery in the University of Edhiburgli; Surgeon-in-ordinary to the Queen and Prince Albert for Scotland; and late Senior Surgeon to the Itoyal Infirmary of Edinburgh. My Dear Sir,—I know you by repute to be an active and accom- plished surgeon of varied experience. Your talents and acquu’ements, and opportunities for observation, coupled with the fact of your having already taught surgery successfully, give you a strong and well-founded claim to the Chair of Surgery in Glasgow. I am. My dear Sir, Very truly yours, JAS. MILLER. To Dr. George II. B. Macleod. From William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S., F.R.C.S, late Professor of Physiology and General and Morbid Anatomy, King's College; Surgeon King's College ITospital and Royal London Opthalmic Hospital. I HAVE had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Macleod since he volun- teered as a civil surgeon to join the hospitals in the East during the Russian war, and I entertain the highest opinion of his capacity and knowledge. No one has studied surgery in all its branches with more zeal and devotion, and his work on the Surgery of the War shows that he has mastered his profession and is well able to teach its principles. From what I know of him personally, I think him likely to become a highly popular Professor of Surgery, should he be elevated to that important position. WILLIAM BOWMAN. From J. E. EriCHSEN, Esq., F.R.C.S. Eng., Professor of Surgery., and Surgeon to University College Hospital. Dr. Macleod is well known to me by his published works to be a most able and experienced surgeon, eminently (puilified for the Professorship of Surgery in the University of Glasgow. J. E. ERICHSEN.
