Excerpt from Lecture, Introductory to a Course on the Principles and Practice of Surgery, in the University of Pennsylvania, Delivered November 1, 1841 I am Teacher of the Principles and Practice of Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania. I am, as it were, one of your constituents, placed here to administer to the wants and wishes of the people I represent, whom I am bound to serve faithfully and honestly, to the best of my abilities, and to whom I am, in a measure, responsible for any dere liction of duty - so long as I continue in office. You havea right, therefore, to demand, according to usage established from time immemorial, in our great and favoured land, what those principles and practice are, and how I propose to carry out what I am pledged to execute. You have a right to enquire and to know who I am, and what I have done to entitle me to the high prerogative of being your represen tative, and if not satisfied with the doctrines I inculcate, and the claims I shall endeavour to substantiate, have the privi legs of supporting some other candidate better calculated to secure your rights and immunities.
