Up to the beginning of the Medical course many have learned little. We cannot claim anything better than the Examiner of the University of London and the Cambridge Lecturer have reported for their Universities.

Their experiments continued till 1829, when the account of them constituted the subject of a 'Bakerian Lecture.
