Excerpt from An Inaugural Address, Delivered Before the New-York Academy of Medicine, February 2d, 1848I do not think I exaggerate the importance of the labors which have occupied your attention the year just terminated, when I add, that many interesting subjects have challenged your consideration, and that the work has been well done. You, with surpassing unanimity, now meet together, under an improved and sound Constitution, and a code of by-laws of clear and specific designation, well calculated to render ob vions to all the duties of every member, and to secure permanency to our deliberations. Your Committees have, in part, reported with signal excellence on sev eral important subjects assigned them and we have the assurance that, with still deeper earnestness, others are now ready to bring forth for consideration, mat ters of interest to the cause of humanity, and deeply blended with the scientific and practical reputation of our Association. My prayer is, that the earnestness thus exhibited at the onset, may augment with the occasion which demands it, and that the papers which we shall receive from individual members, as well as from your Committees, may be marked by that cautious observation and precise collocation of facts, accompanied with that severe reasoning which. Will give to our transactions a practical character, which alone can secure usefulness and durability to our proceedings.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
