MEDICAL STUDIES 
47 
years in a few lines. While at Cambridge, of which 
I shall speak in a separate chapter, I attended a few 
lectures, chiefly by Dr. Haviland, in order to obtain 
some more of the necessary certificates to qualify 
me for undergoing an examination and obtaining 
a doctor’s degree. After I left Cambridge, some 
more lectures had still to be attended, so I was sent 
for a short time as a pupil at St. George’s Hospital. 
My dear father’s death then occurred, as will be 
mentioned farther on, and the direction of my life 
became changed.
