    10 Doctor in Medicine of the University of Edinburgh. Doctor in Medicine of Trinity College, Dublin. Fellow of the College of Physicians in Ireland. President of the Obstetrical Society. Vice-President of the Medico-Chirurg. Society of Dublin. Vice-President of the Association of Col. of Phys. esta- blished in 1816 for the advancement of medical education. Member of Council of the Pathological Society. O *j Formerly Lecturer on Midwifery and the Diseases of Wo- men and Children, at the Richmond Hospital School of Medicine. MASTER of the Lying-in Hospital of Dublin, established by royal charter in the year 1757, for the instruction of students in Midwifery. As the Honourable the Patrons of the University have usually been furnished with Letters and Certificates ex- pressive of the estimation in which individuals aspiring to their Chairs are held by distinguished medical practitioners, who are personally or otherwise acquainted with them, a few such, conveyed in communications addressed principally to the Patrons and to the Professors of the University, by some of Dr Kennedy’s professional brethren and too indul- gent friends in Dublin and elsewhere, are subjoined, and further reference is requested by the Right Honourable the Lord Provost and Town-Council of Edinburgh, to the Pro- fessors of the University, from whom motives of delicacy have prevented Doctor Kennedy obtaining testimonials. It is proper, in justice, to add, that the same feeling of delicacy, lest they should appear to be actively supporting the pretensions of any particular Candidate, has actuated the Professors in the University to the extent of making them hesitate, even after solicitation on the part of one of Dr Evory Kennedy’s friends in Edinburgh, to grant permis- sion to have the Mters published which have been addressed to them in Dr Kennedy’s favour.
