 t have great plcasuic in bearing testimony to the merits o' Or. Mon- 
 TizAMBERT, with whom I had the opportunity of being well acquainted 
 during his residence here. 
 
 He held in suooMSion the offices of Dresser and non-rcsidont Clerk in 
 my department of the Hospital, where I should have been happy to have 
 had him also in thie position of Resident Surgeon, if circumstances had 
 permitted me to do so. Such being the case, it is needless for me to 
 express my opinion more particularly ; and 1 therefore will merely add 
 that I feel quite sure Dr. Montizambert will always prove deserving of 
 his pltients' Confidence, whether in a public or private capacity.

 I have been iotiiuately acquainted with Dr. Montizambert, during 
 the whole time of his attendance at the University of Edinburgh as a 
 Student of Medicine ; and I have, therefore, much pleasure in adding my 
 testimony to his high professional abilities, and many other excellent 
 qualities. 
 
 Dr. Montizambert possesses peculiar powers of mastering the prncticc 
 nnd theory of the profession ; and consequently ho has distinguished 
 hiiusulf in all his professional examinations at the University and Royal 
 C'»»l!('gc of Surgeons. 
 
 Dr. Montizambert has enjoyed the high |irivilego of acting as Dresser 
 and non-resident Clerk in the Clinical Surgical wards of Uie Royal 
 Infirmary of Edinburgh ; and he performed the duties of those ojfficcs in a 
 manner which received the most favorable notice from Professor Syme. 
 
 In my opinion, Dr. Montizambert is peculiarly fitted for holding tho 
 office of Surgeon to an Hospital ; and I am quite sure that his appoint- 
 ment to the Sui^ical charge of any Hospital will be most advantageous to 
 the Institution, and of the greatest bonefic to those who may bo entrusted 
 to his professional care.

 Having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Dr. F. Montiz- 
 ambert, and having had the advantage of his assistance in more than one 
 case of Ovariotomy, and in a long attendance during the convalescenco of 
 a lady after a capital operation, 1 can speak with a full opportunity having 
 been afforded mo of forming an estimate of his character and professional 
 ability, and I can, with great confidence express my opinion, that tho 
 honors which ho gained as a student in Edinburgh are likely to Lo followed 
 by a career of w;ell-merited success in the practice of his profession.

 My Dear Sir, 
 
 I have a lively recollection of your position as a pupil at my 
 class in the University here. You not only took honors in my class, 
 but you showed, also, that you had studied your profession in all its 
 branches, and not in one direction only, by tho good position which you 
 took in the professional examination. I have no doubt, therefore, that 
 you will do us credit in Canada ; and I should bo glad to learn that you 
 obtained an appointment to an Hospital aa a means for your advancement 
 and, I have no doubt, for its interests.

 It affords me great pleasure to express my conviction that Dr. Fred- 
 erick Montizambert, L. R. C. S., is, both by nature and from his ex- 
 tended professional education, most excellently qualified to occupy with 
 credit and success, any hospital appointment to which he aspires.

 and can tcstifiy to the great energy and assiduity with which he applied

 His progress hero wa^ a marked one, exhibiting the good effects of 
 thorough early training in enabling him to take honors in nearly every 
 subject of his professional cnrriculum. 
 
 I know that there was but one opinion held here of Dr. Montizambert, 
 that ho was an honor to any sohool witli which he was connected, as an 
 cx:.unplo of a thorough good student, and ns certain not only to succeed in

 As a student at the University you wore characterized by the regularity

 practical knowledge which can alone render him a successful physician, 
 and which arc conferred upon pupils of merit only. If to this it bo added 
 that you dis^inguished yourself ut your final examinations and carried off 
 honors in important classes in the University, I believe enough will have 
 been said to show that you have very strong claims to be appointed to the 
 office for which you arc a candidate.

 Dr. F. MoNTiZAMBERT has been well known to mc during the whole 
 period of his student life in Edinburgh. He was noted in the Anatomical 
 Rooms of the University as an extremely co.rcful and dexterous dissector. 
 He passed his graduation examination in Anatomy, Chemistry, Physiology, 
 Botany and Natural History with distinguished honor, his papers bemg 
 the best of his term. His more practical studies were no less successful, 
 and he specially availed himself of the very great advantage which he 
 enjoyed of being both Dresser and afterwards non-resident Clerk in Pro- 
 fessor Syme's wards. From all that I know of Dr, Montizambert's stu- 
 dies, character and attainments, I believe most sincerely that his appoint- 
 ment to the office which he desires would be most thoroughly satisfactory 
 to all interested in the Hospital.

 t have the greatest pleasure in testifying to the qualifications of Dr. 
 Montizambert for the office of Physician or Surgeon to an Hospital. He 
 distinguished himself greatly in his studies h3re. He took class honors in 
 Chemistry, Midwifery and Surgery, and was the only one who passed with 
 honors in one of his examinations for the degree of M. D. He had ample 
 opportunity of studying practically in the Infirmary of Edinburgh, and I 
 can personally testify that he took advantage of it. As Dresser and Cli- 
 nical Clerk in Mr. Syiue'a wards he performed his duties most thoroughly ; 
 and on this of course I, as having been House Surgeon there at the time, 
 can and do most strongly speak. I have not the slightest doubt that he 
 will discharge his duties in any Hospital most ably and efficiently.

 Having known Dr. Montizambert intimately for several years, I have 
 great pleasure in strongly recommending him for the appointment to which 
 ho aspires, feeling assured that the duties connected with it will he 
 discharged with credit to himself, with satisfaction to his patrons, and 
 with lasting benefit to his patients. 
 
 Dr. Montizambert was distinguished at Edinburgh, not more for bis 
 intcUootual powers than for his assiduity and perseverance. He obtained 
 lionors in Surgery, Chemistry and Midwifery, and is one of the very low 
 whose written examination f ipers were so excellent as to induce tlie 
 Scnatus to forego a further oral examination, than which no higher coi i- 
 plimcnt can be paid to the proficiency of the student. 
 
 While Dr. Montizambert was thus eminent in theloarning and thcoi-y 
 of his profession, he did not neglect to test the value of his knowledge by 
 practice and observation. He acted under me as Dres.ser, and subsequently 
 :is Chiet Assistant, while I officiated as Hesident Surgeon to the Clinical 
 Surgical wards of the Royal Infirmary of Ediuburgb. I ibund him at all 
 time§ intelligent, amiable and obliging; and his attentions to the patients 
 were such, that I had no hesitation, when called upoA.to attend to out- 
 door duties, to leave him in full charge of the wards. On such occasions 
 his conduct elicited my entire approval, as it earned the gratitude of those 
 entrusted to his care. 
 
 In addition to a very successful University career and considerable 
 experience as an Hospital Surgeon, Dr. Montizambert has the manner 
 r.odl bearing of a perfect gentleman— qualities of gieat importance in 
 public institutions, deriving lustre not more from the liberality of their 
 founders than from the eminence of their officers. 
 
 I heartily wish him success, both for his own sake, and for the sake of 
 the Hospital with which he seeks to become identified.
