"From Edinburgh to India & Burmah"

In his address before the Dublin medico-Chirurgical Society, an association of students in connection with the Dublin hospitals, he said in 1836: Many causes contribute to prevent students from attaining what after all should be the great object of their wishes-practical knowledge.
"Makers of Modern Medicine"
James J. Walsh
How he was the son of the luckless owner of the London coffee-house in Ludgate Hill; how Flaxman saw his infantile drawings and declared he would be nothing but an artist-nay, "he was an artist;" how, at the Charterhouse, the gentle, nervous lad was schoolfellow of Thackeray, with whom he formed a passionate, life-long friendship; and of yet another hearty friend, Mr. Nethercote; how, when he was medical student at Bartholomew's Hospital, he contracted another evergreen friendship with Percival Leigh, and formed an acquaintanceship, long maintained, but never fully ripened, with another medico-Albert Smith, of Middlesex; how his father's failure caused him to give up medicine and the knife in favour of art and the pencil-by the exercise of which, when he was still under Dr. Cockle, son of the pill-doctor, he had already fascinated his fellow-students, and in particular Percival Leigh-on whose initiative it was that the "Comic Latin Grammar" was carried into execution.
