Bright monument of British funkyism and imbecility, there stands the clause setting that reverend and irrelevant doctor-maker above the law, which sets his grace's female relations below the law, and, in practice, outlaws the whole female population, starving those who desire to practice medicine learnedly, and oppressing those who, out of modesty, not yet quite smothered by custom and monopoly, desire to consult a learned female physician, instead of being driven, like sheep, by iron tyranny in a country that babbles Liberty to a male physician or a female quack.
"For all that, two female practitioners got upon the register, and stand out, living landmarks of experience and the truth, in the dead wilderness of surmise and prejudice. "I will tell you how they got in. Guess, now, who it is that a British Parliament sets above the law, as a doctor-maker for that public it professes to love and protect!" "The Regius Professor of Medicine?" "No." "Tyndall?"
