Excerpt from Lectures on the Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of the Invertebrate Animals: Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons There are doubtless some now present who have not before attended the Hunterian lectures on Comparative Anatomy, which are appointed to be annually delivered in this theatre. I may therefore commence by stating the prescribed extent and subject of these lectures. They are defined in the second clause of the trust-deed, which ex presses the conditions on which the Hunterian Collection, purchased by Parliament, was transferred to the Royal College of Surgeons, as follows viz. That one course of lectures, not less than twenty-four in number, on Comparative Anatomy, illustrated by the Preparations, shall be given each year by some member of the College. When I was honoured by the Council in 1837 with this arduous and responsible office, it seemed to me that the first obligation upon the professor was, to combine with the information to be imparted on the science of Comparative Anatomy an adequate demonstration of the nature and extent of the Hunterian Physiological Collection, and thus to Offer a due tribute to the scientific labours and discoveries of its Founder.
