    From T. Lauder Brunton, M.D., Sc.D. Edin., F.R.C.P., F.R.S., Assistant-Physician and Lecturer on Materia Medica at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I have much pleasure in expressing my esteem for Dr. Coats, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for many years. During our stay in Leipzig, while working in Professor Ludwig’s laboratory, I was greatly struck with his extreme accuracy, a quality, the value of which in scientific work can hardly be over-rated. Since his return to Glasgow he has devoted himself to the study and teaching of Pathology. Under considerable diffi- culties he has organised the teaching of pathology in Glasgow, and he is not only acquainted with human pathology, but with the methods of experimental investigation of disease. I feel sure that if appointed to the Chair which he now seeks, he will discharge its duties with the greatest possible fidelity, and will devote himself with unwearying assiduity both to teaching and original investigation.
