tions from the members and licentiates of the college, and
from several other professional gentlemen, who have politely
contributed to its advancement. When first established,
many valuable specimens in anatomy and pathology were
added by the late professor Todd | and within the past year
the number has been enlarged by the munificent donation,
from professor Kirby, of his entire museum, containing upwards
of five hundred specimens.
In order to distinguish the labours of the several gentlemen
who may have filled the office of curator, it is allowed by
the college, that the names of each shall be added to their
respective preparations. As yet, the initials of but two names
appear on the labels, those of the present Curator, and those
of his talented and enlightened predecessor, the late Mr.
John Shekleton, by whose great exertions, even to the sacrifice
of his life, the collection was first founded I and of
whom a bust has been placed in the museum, in, testimony
of the high sense entertained by the college of his services,
and their regret at the premature termination of his distinguished
career.
