IT single large reference medical library, the work would have been already accomplished ? It is deemed unnecessary to apologize for the minutia of the details which we have given of the efforts of the medical profession in this ci...ty to secure for itself a medical library, for in these details are disclosed the history, and method, by which the profession lost its vantage ground in a movement which, in more than one sense of the word, is an element of professional growth, improvement, and renown.
