Excerpt from A Treatise on the Art of Bread-Making: Wherein, the Mealing Trade, Assize Laws, and Every Circumstance Connected With the Art, Is Particularly Examined At the Theatre of Guy's Hospital, in London, there is established a society of medical men, who meet once a week, during the winter season, to communicate such new facts and observations as occur in the course of their practice. - At the same time, a dissertation on some medical or philosophical subject is brought forward, and read by the members in their turn, which, after due deliberation, and an exordium from the president, is calmly investigated; when some of the lecturers, and many of the most eminent men in the profession, are frequently induced to give their opinion, for the promotion of medical knowledge, and the improvement of the students in particular, who, while they, only appear to be enjoying an agreeable evening's conversation, are, in reality, laying up a treasure of useful knowledge.
