From William Turner, Esq., M.B. (Lond.) F.E.S.E., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Edinburgh^ Member of General Medical Council, Etc., Etc. University of Edinburgh, Nov. 16th, 1875. I have much pleasure in stating that I regard Mr. F. LeM. Grasett, M.B. and CM., as a well educated young graduate of medicine. Mr. Grasett has not only gone through the ordinary training of an Edinburgh student, but has both before and after his graduation held hospital appointments, which have enabled him to acquire a more extended acquaintance with the practical work of his pro- fession than usually falls to the lot of so young a graduate. The experience which he has had in hospital practice in this school of medicine has fitted him for efficiently dis- charging the duties of an hospital appointment elsewhere. WM. TUKNER. II. From Joseph Lister, Esq., M.B. (Lond.) F.R.S., F.E.C.ST, Professor of Clinical Surgery, Edinburgh University, Surgeon in Ordinary to the Queen in Scotland, Etc., Etc. 9 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, Nov. 16th, 1875. Mr. Frederick LeM. Grasett when a student in the University of Edinburgh, took the very highest honours I i 6 attainable in the class of clinical surgery, and while he thus proved his superior abilities and zeal in the pursuit of professional knowledge, he also served under me in the offices of Dresser and Clinical Clerk in the Royal Infirmary in a way that indicated unusual aptitude for practical surgery. After his graduation, I selected him for appoint- ment to my house-surgeoncy, and had good reason to be satisfied with the choice that I had made. While Ithus speak especially of Mr. Grasett's qualifications in my own branch of instruction, I have reason to know that he has attained to high proficiency in other departments. He is further, a man of high moral character and gentlemanly conduct, and now that he is about to return to his ciative country, I confidently recommend him as one well deser- ving of confidence in any position to which he may aspire. JOSEPH LISTER. III. From James Spence, Esq., F.R.S., F.R.C.S.E., Professor of Surgery, University of Edinburgh, Surgeon in ordi- nary to the Queen in Scotland, Etc., Etc. 21a Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, 15th November, 1875. I have much pleasure in stating from what I have seen of Mr. Frederick Grasett when he was a resident in the Royal Infirmary, and from what I know of the opportu- nities he has enjoyed in prosecuting his medical studies in Edinburgh and in other schools, that I have formed a very favourable estimate of his professional attainments and practical acquaintance with medicine and surgery, and that I consider him as well qualified to ento^r on the practice of his profession. JAMES SPENCE. IV. From George W. Balfour, M.D., F.K.C.P., Ed., Physician to the Royal Infirmary, Lecturer on Clinical Medicine, Etc., Etc. 1 7 Walker Street, Edinburgh, Nov. 13th, 1875. I have much pleasure in certifying that Mr. Fred. Giasett, M.B., CM., etc., wao my resident physician in the wards of the Poyal Infirmary here under my care during the session 1873-74, he has also been for six months a resident in the surgical wards. He has acted as assistant in general practice to a personal friend of my own, and he has also had the sole charge for several months of a large general practice in a neighboring town, in all of these positions Mr. Grasett has acted to the entire satisfaction of those by whom he was employed, and from what I know of Mr. Grasett from a personal and professional acquaintance of several years standing, I can safely say that few young men commence practice with such a thorough knowledge of their profession in all its departments, or with a fairer prospect of rising to eminence in that profession. GEORGE W. BALFOUR. V. Prom James Matthews Duncan, Esq., M.D., F.R.S., F.R.C.P.E., Lecturer on Midwifery, Physician for Dis- eases of women. Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Etc. 30 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, November 16th, 1875. Mr. Fred. Grasett, M.B., Etc., was in partial charge for some time of my ward for diseases of women and children, ill ^he Royal Infirmary. Besides this, I had other means of becoming abquainted with his private and professional character. I believe that in both respects he is as highly esteemed by others as by myself. J. MATTHEWS DUNCAN. ; j ! |; ; 8 VL From Patrick Heron Watson, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.S., F.R.S.E., Lecturer on Surgery, Senior Surgeon to the Eoyal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Etc., Etc. 16 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, November, 17 th. I have known Mr. Frederick LeM. Grasett since he commenced his professional studies in this school, and have watched with interest the success which has attended on his progress from year to year. A success which cul- minated in his holding office as resident surgeon and resident physician in the Royal Infirmary in this city. He has not confined his attention, however, to what is to be seen and studied here, he has still further fitted himself for the duties of practical life by spending some time in the schools of London and Dublin, employing there as here his best endeavour to make himself thoroughly efficient as a medical man for any department of professional work. I regard Mr. Grasett as one of the best educated and one of the most intelligent pupils I have had occasion to meet with, and have confident anticipations of his future career proving a successful and honourable one, from the talent and tendencies he has already manifested. PATRICK H. WATSON. VII. From Daniel Rutherford Haldane, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.P.E. Senior Phy ucian to the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Lecturer on the Practice of Medicine in the School of Medicine, Etc., Etc. 22 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, Nov. 13th, 1875. I have much pleasure in expressing the very favourable opinion I entertain of Dr. Frederick Grasett. In addition to going through the ordinary curriculum of a student, 9 Dr. Grasett enjoyed the great advantage of acting in the Royal Infirmary in the capacity of resident physician and resident surgeon, and of these opportunities of obtaining a practical knowledge of his profession he sedulously availed himself. I therefore consider Dr. Grasett well qualified either to engage in private practice or to undertake duties of a more public character. D. R. HALDANE. VIII. From William Rutherford Sanders, Esq., M.D., F.R.C. P.E., Professor of Pathology and Clinical Medicine in the University of Edinburgh, Physician to the Royal Infirmary, Etc., Etc. 11 Walker Street, Edinburgh, Nov. 16th, 1876. Frederick LeM. Grasett, Esq., has been perponcilly known to me as a distinguished student and graduate in Medicine at our University. Both during his attendance in my class of Pathology and also during the period when he acted as one of my Clinical Assistants in the University Medical wards of our Royal Infirmary I had opportunities of wit- nessing his ability, knowledge and character. Since that time he has filled the important posts of house physician to Dr. Balfour and house surgeon to Professor Lister in the Infirmary, and I feel therefore confident that he is particularly well qualified for the duties and responsibilities of practice, and recommend him accordingly. WM. R. SANDERS. IX. From Alexander R. Simpson, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Professor of Midwifery in the University of Edinburgh, Physician for diseases of Women, Royal Infirmary. 52 Queen Street, Edinburgh, Nov. nth, 1875. I have much pleasure in stating that Mr. Frederick Grasett was a diligent and successful student of medicine 1 , f 10 in the Edinburgh University. He has made good use of his time since his graduation in our own Infirmary and elsewhere, acquiring practical experience in various depart- ments of medicine, and he will be found admirably well qualified for all the duties of his profession. ALEX. E. SIMPSON. X. From T. Grainger Stewart, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Lecturer on the Practice of Medicine, and Physician to the Royal Infirmary. 19 Charlotte Square, EdinhurgJi. 16th Nov., 1875. I have much pleasure in certifying that Mr. Grasett, M.B., CM., has been well known to me for some years, that in his student days he acted as Clinical Clerk in my wards, and that since his graduation and during his term of office as resident physician and house .sm'geon in the Royal Infirmary I have had many opportunities of observ- ing his talents and proficiency. I have been led to form a very favourable opinion of his qualities in all respects, and have no doubt that wherever he may settle he will will take a foremost place in his profession. T. GRAINGER STEWART. XL From Thomas Annandale, Esq., F.R.C.S., F.R.S.E., Lec- turer on Clinical Surgery, Surgeon to the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, Etc., Etc. I 84 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, nth Nov., 1875. Having known Br. Grasett intimately during the time of his residence in Edinburgh I can conscientiously testify to his excellent professional abilities. Having passed through a most successful course of study at the Univer- ii K. K. SIMPSON. [.D., F.R.C.P.E., and Physician to &ER 8TEWAET. sity, and obtained his qualifications, Dr. Grasett received the appointments of resident physician and surgeon in the Royal Infirmary. In holding these appointments Dr. Grasett has not only perfected his professional knowledge but has also shewed his thorough fitness for practising his profession in all its departments. I consider him to be well qualified to practice his profession with success. THOMAS ANNANDALE. XII. From John Chiene, Esq., F.R.C.S., F.R.S.E., Assistant Surgeon Edinburgh Royal Infirmay, Lecturer on Sur- gery and Examiner in Anatomy University of Edinburgh. 21 Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, Nov. 15th, 1875. Dr. F. LeM. Grasett leaves Edinburgh with the good wishes of the many friends he has made here. They all wish him well, because they know that he thoroughly deserves success. I have been brought into intimate rela- tion with him in the Surgical CUnical wards of our Infir- mary and in my class of practical surgery. I can with perfect confidence recommend him as a well educated surgeon — with a love for his work, trusts .orthy, and intel- Ugent, he will, I am sure, amply fulfil the high expectations I entertain of his future career. He has for six years as a student, house physician and house surgeon, worked honestly and well, and lias taken every advantage of the excellent opportunities afforded by this school for gaining an accurate and extensive knowledge of the practice of surgery and mtdicine. He has also lately perfected his medical training by visiting the medical schools of London and Dublin. Kindly, obliging, a well educated Gentleman, he will be a credit to the Edinburgh School of Medicine. I most heartily wish him success. ' JOHN CHIENE. 1. I ,! 12 XIII. From D. Argyll I^obertson, M.D., F.R.S.C.E., Opthal- mic Surgeon to the Eoyal Infirmary, Surgeon to the Eye and Ear Dispensary, Lecturer on Opthalmic Sur- gery, Etc., Etc. Edinburgh, Nov. 15th, 1875. I have much pleasure in expressing the high opinion I entertain of the professional qualifications of Mr. Frederick LeM. Grasett, M.B. After working diligently as a student here, and graduating, Mr. Grasett held the situations of resident physician and resident surgeon to the royal infir- mary, and for a short time acted a clerk to the Opthalmic wards of the same Institution, He discharged with ability the duties of these offices, and profited by the opportunities of practical experience thus afforded. Mr. Grasett posseses good powers of observation, and feels a thorough interest in his profession, and will, in my opinion, prove an able and successful practicioner. D. AEGYLL ROBERTSON. XIV. From John Wyllie, M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Pathologist to the Royal Infirmary, Lecturer on Pathology to the School of Medicine, Edinburgh, Physician to the New Town Dispensary, Etc., Etc. 9 Hoive Street, Edinburgh, Nov. 15th, 1875. I have much pleasure in testifying to the excellent qualifications of Dr. Frederick LeMaitre Grasett. I have knowr Dr. Grasett for several years, first as a student of the Edinburgh University, and afterwards as a resident medical officer in the Royal Infirmary. When a student Mr. Grasett was one of my pupils at the New Town Dis- pensary, and subsequently when I was acting for a time as Pathologist to the Royal Infirmary he was one of my 13 assistants in that department. On these occasions, as during his whole student career, Mr. Grasett showed much ability and zeal in acquiring knowledge and practical experience. After his graduation Mr. Grasett was pro- moted to the honourable office of house physician and afterwards to that of house surgeon in the Eoyal Infimary, and in both of these situations I believe he proved himself a most conscientious, able, and trustworthy officer. On the death of a well known country practitioner in the neigh- bourhood of Edinburgh Mr. Grasett took the charge for some months of an extensive general practice, and I under- stand that in this capacity he again acquited himself with the greatest credit. On leaving this situation Mr. Grasett visited the hospitals and medical schools of London, and more recently he visited the schools of Dublin and there devoted especial attention to the science and practice of Midwifery as taught by the eminent physicians of the well known Rotunda Lying-in-hospital. It will thus be seen that Dr. Grasett has received a most careful v^nd complete education in all the departments of medical prac- tice. I am sure that whether he may hereafter enter upon general practice, or devote himself specially to surgery or medicine, his accurate practical knowledge, and his ability and energy of character, will not fail to secure for him abundant success.
