As a further evidence of the almost unanimous concurrence of the General Practitioners in town and country, in favour of the views advocated by this Association-namely, the incorporation of the General Practitioners in medicine, surgery, and midwifery, into an independent college-the following extracts from the published opinions of several most important Societies must be taken as conclusive :THE SOCIETY OF APOTHECARIES, in a letter to the Secretaries of the Manchester Medical and Surgical Association, state, " That the Society had no personal, corporate, or local interests to advocate," and that " the very existence of an independent college of

general practitioners implied a resignation, on the part of the Society, of all further interference with the education or control over the affairs of the General Practitioners, the Society having only one aim and object left to them-namely, to see the General Practitioners in the full enjoyment of an independent organization, and to lend their zealous help to promote the success of that

measure." At a meeting of the old ASSOCIATED GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN MEDICINE, SURGERY, AND MID-

THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, ata meeting held at Exeter Hall, Nov. 26th,’1844, (Dr. WEBSTER, President, in the chair,) resolved-" That the time has arrived when it has become imperatively necessary to adopt all legitimate means for the legal union of the General Practitioners of this kingdom into a distinct corporation." THE MARYLEBONE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATION, at a special meeting held at the Literary and Scientific Institution, 7, Edward-street, Portman-square, on Monday, the 30th of December, 1844, (J. PROPERT, Esq., in the chair,) resolved, nem. con.-" That this Association do merge into the National Association of General Practitioners in Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, instituted at a public meeting, held at the Hanover-square Rooms, December 7th, 1844, under the presidency of R. R. PENNINGTON, Esq." Whilst the FiNSBURY, TOWER HAMLETS, KENSINGTON, PIMLICO, and other district METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATIONS, have, either by conference or otherwise, declared their entire concurrence in the propriety and necessity of incorporating the general practitioners into an independent college. In the Provinces, also, the feeling appears to be almost universal in favour of a Charter of Incorporation. At a meeting of the members of the MEDICAL PROFESSION resident in the county of DORSET, held at the committee-room of the Dorset County Hospital, on Friday, Nov. 29, 1844, It was proposed by Mr. SrooNER, of Blandford, and seconded by Mr. CURlIIE, of Dorchester-" That in the absence of any provi-

Bill

(which is much regretted) for

the admission

134 of general practitioners, on terms honourable to your body, into the corporate privileges of either of the colleges of physicians and surgeons, it would greatly tend to the welfare, respectability, and usefulness of the profession, to unite the general practitioners into a separate college or body corporate, with power to manage their own affairs upon the representative principle." At a special general meeting of the members of THE TAUNTON AND SOMERSET BRANCH OF THE PROVINCIAL MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATION, held at Pallison’s Hotel, Taunton, on Wednesday, 4th Dec. 1844. It was moved by Mr. STODDART, of Comeytrowe, near Taunton, seconded by Mr. HIGGINS, of Taunton, and carried unanimously-° That inasmuch as there appears to be no prospect at the present time of the legislature consenting to the union of the whole profession into one body or faculty of medicine, and in the absence of any provision for the admission of the general practitioners into a participation, on terms equal and honourable to that body, in the corporate privileges of either of the colleges of physicians and surgeons, it is absolutely essential to the wellbeing of this the most numerous and influential body of the profession, that it should be united into a separate college, or body corporate, (under some such name as ’The College of Medicine and Surgery,’) with power to manage its own affairs independently, upon the representative system, and that the interests of such corporation should be fully and equally represented in the Council of Health and Education." At a meeting of the GENERAL PRACTITIONERS OF AYLESBURY, and its vicinity, held at the Buckinghamshire Infirmary,

Wednesday, January 8th, 1845,-ROBERT CEELY, Esq. of Aylesbury, in the chair, *

Mr. E. POPE, of

Tring, and Mr. E. HowELL, of Princes Resmoved and seconded the following resolution, which was carried nem. con.-" That this meeting, earnestly deprecating the re-introduction into parliament of the Medical Bill of Sir J. Graham, and being convinced of the necessity of obtaining a charter for the incorporation of the general practitioners, desires to co-operate with the National Medical Association in London, and therefore resolves to form a society, calledThe Bucks Medical Association,’ for that purpose, as well as for adopting such other measures as may perfect the interests, and augment the usefulness and respectability, of the general practitioner." The GENERAL PRACTITIONERS OF WHITEHAVEN, at a meeting held in the Infirmary, on the 13th of January, 1845,-Mr.. MITCHELL, the senior practitioner in the chair, Resolved unanimously-’, That the meeting being fully convinced of the inadequacy of the Bill, both educational and practical, views with satisfaction the efforts now being made by the general practitioners throughout the kingdom for a charter of incorporation," &c. A meeting at ULYERSTONE, held on Wednesday, the 15th inst, and most numerously attended, Resolved unanimously-,, To co-operate in the endeavour now making to procure a charter of incorporation for the establishment of a royal college of general practitioners in medicine, surgery, and midwifery." At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the profession at SUNDERLAND, held December 11, 1844, the following

borough,

carrying out of the third resolution agreed to at the public meet. ing, on the 7th of Dec. last-viz., to effect a complete organization of the General Practitioners. The means of attaining this desirable, this paramount object, are now so simple, that it rests with every individual practitioner in the kingdom to strengthen the body collective by furnishing his name, and by affording his active co-operation and assistance. The rapidity with

which the Association has reached its present numerical strength and degree of importance, leaves no room to doubt, that a very short period will suffice to enable it to assume for itself the name and character of 11 THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN MEDICINE, SURGERY, AND MIDWIFERY," and to give it all the political weight that a large majority of the legally qualified practitioners of medicine and surgery in this country ought to possess. The further proceedings of the provisional committee and of the Association must, in some measure, depend upon the steps taken by the Home Secretary respecting the Bill now before the public, and upon the measures of the executive government relating to the medical profession, and also upon the proceedings of the medical corporations ; but, under any circumstances, they are determined to spare no pains, and to lose no time, in taking the necessary steps to secure the speedy and certain success of the general practitioners in the attainment of their great object-A CHARTER OF INCORPORATION, sanctioned by an ACT OF PARLIA31ENT; and to render that Charter independent of the existing corporations, and as beneficial as possible to the public and to the profession. In accordance with such determination, they have forwarded a Memorial, accompanied with a letter addressed to the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, and are considering the heads of a Charter, which will be submitted to the Association at an early period. The letters of a great many correspondents, both in London and the country, contain inquiries as to the amount of subscriptions required. It will be seen that all DONATIONS are VOLUNTARY, and a post-office order, made payable to the Treasurers at the post-office in Piccadilly, is the best mode of transmitting donations from a distance. A considerable fund will be necessary to enable the general practitioners to ensure success, and it i& confidently hoped that the plan of voluntary donations will not disappoint the expectations of the committee. The honorary secretaries receive letters amounting to eighty and more daily, many of them very lengthy; it is therefore trusted, should omissions occur in replying to questions contained in this bulky correspondence, that they will be excused. It has been the endeavour of the provisional committee, in their advertisements, to furnish satisfactory replies, as far as practicable, to many of the questions that have reached them. AT the Meeting of the Provisional Committee, on Tuesday, Jan. 28th, it was resolved, that the following documents be published :To the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Bart., her Majesty’s principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, &c. &c. &c.
