Excerpt from The Difficulties and the Privileges of the Medical Profession: An Address Delivered Before the Medical Society of the State of Georgia, at Their Third Annual Meeting, Held at Augusta, April, 1852 Gentlemen of the Medical Society of the State of Georgia: The emotions which possess me at this moment, are of the most pleasing nature. The time, the occasion, and the character of my auditory are well calculated to fill the breast with lively pleasure and gratulation. The time, because this is, above all others, the period of universal prosperity in our State - the occasion, because we are here convened in the consummation of a duty, the most important to the Profession which we delight to serve - and above all, the character of my audience gives me courage, because here I behold those in whose persons the interests of that profession are so safely and so deservedly vested. Were it my duty here to address a class of young and inexperienced men, I could perhaps succeed in engaging or amusing them for a while, advice and wholesome precept, the history of our Science, or a brief exposition of its progress, would then be the appropriate theme of this hour, but when I look around, a far different presence incites me - in the place of novices, I behold those who are far advanced in the rugged pathway of our Profession - those whose chaplets have been long worn and whose experience and teaching would well edify one of my humble attainments.
