    Fellow-Members of The British Medical Associafion,— T BID you welcome to this ancient and famous seat of medical learning; welcome in the name of the city whose Lord Provost has already so eloquently addressed you to-day ; welcome in the name of the University to which we are indebted for the use of this stately hall, and for so much besides ; welcome in the name of the Royal Colleges and of the whole of the profession in Edinburgh and in Scotland, and in particular of the Edinburgh Branch of this great National Institution. My first duty is to thank the Association for having called me to this Chair. It is indeed a great honour to occupy a position which has been filled by Alison, by Christison, by Stokes, by Acland, and by many other illustrious men. I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the distinction that you have conferred, and that no effort will be wanting on my part to serve the Association to the best of my ability.
