may have the full advantage of your pathological researches, you will arrange with the principal medical officer of the hospital as to the time which will be most convenient to the medical officers to attend your demonstrations. "3. You will have under your directions two able assistants (one first, and one second), and both accustomed to and versed in the operations of the deadhouse. "4. As morbid anatomy is of little value unless studied in connexion with the history of the disease, you and your assistants will require to visit the hospital wards, in order to become acquainted with the symptoms and characters of the diseases during their progress; but you will not interfere with the treatment of the patients. In making notes of the cases, the name of the patient, and the number of his regiment, should always be stated, as by this means the nature of his duties, and the place where he was first attacked by disease, can be more easily ascertained. "5. The medical officers of the hospitals will be instructed by the principal medical officers to afford you every facility in visiting the wards; and it is hoped that they will be able to supply you with notes of the symptoms and progress of the more urgent cases. "6. It is expected that you will not content yourself with the simple dissection of the subject, and the demonstration of the morbid parts, but that you will submit them to microscopical examination. “7. As you are provided with all the appliances necessary for your researches, it is expected that you will take full advantage of the opportunities which present themselves to prosecute your inquiries in this direction to the fullest extent; and as you are also provided with the means of preserving such specimens of disease as you may deem necessary for the illustration of your researches, you will naturally avail yourself of them, and take the necessary steps for having them transported to England. "8. Although in all probability you will find at Scutari ample opportunities of completing your pathological observations, you are not to confine yourself entirely to the hospitals in that place; should the information which you receive from reliable sources lead you to believe that more favourable opportunities present themselves in the hospitals at Kululee, or elsewhere, on the Bosphorus, you may use your own discretion in transferring your researches for a time to such hospitals, acquainting the commandant of your intention, and the superintendent of the hospital you propose to visit. 9. With the view of rendering your researches more complete, it is desirable that you should observe the nature of the diseases of the Russian prisoners; and it would further be desirable that you should visit the French Hospitals, and ascertain the results of the researches of the French physicians in the diseases of their sick. "10. If, after having completed your researches in the hospitals on the Bosphorus, you should be of opinion that you might acquire additional information, to render your researches more complete and useful, by observing the character and effects of the diseases prevalent in their earlier stages and more acute forms in the Crimea, you are at liberty to apply to Lord William Paulet for a passage for yourself and one or both of your assistants and labourers to Balaclava; upon obtaining his approval, you will, upon your arrival, report yourself and explain the object of your mission to the head of the medical department of the army in the Crimea. "11. Should your health unfortunately suffer so as to render you unable to continue your researches, you are to commit the charge of carrying them out to your first assistant, giving him these instructions as his guide; and if he should require further assistance, application may be made to the principal medical officer at Scutari, or elsewhere, for such assistance, or to the superintendent of any of the civil hospitals in the East. "12. In the event of either or both of your assistants being unable, from sickness, to render you the assistance you require for the successful prosecution of your researches, you are to apply to the principal medical officer of the hospital where you may be for one or more assistants, or to the superintendent of the civil hospitals in the East. "13. If, unfortunately, both yourself and your senior assistant should be attacked by sickness, the circumstance should be immediately communicated to the principal medical officer at Scutari or elsewhere, or to Dr. Parkes, superintendent of the civil hospital on the Bosphorus, who has one assistant-physician at least capable of carrying out the pathological researches on which you will be engaged. 14. As the office to which you are appointed is new in the medical department of the army, it is possible, although not probable, that some difficulties may arise in the prosecution of your researches. If, by your own prudence and conciliatory conduct, you fail to overcome any such difficulties, you will apply to the commandant of the hospital at Scutari or elsewhere; and should he not afford you the support which you require, you will report the circumstances to the Secretary of State for the War Department with as little delay as possible. You will, however, under any circumstances, report from time to time to the Secretary of State for the War Department the progress made in your researches. 15. When you shall have completed these researches, you will draw up a full report thereof, for the information of the Secretary of State for the War Department, to whom it should be addressed. 16. Although not strictly limited to time, it is presumed that a period of about four months will be sufficient to enable you to accomplish the object of your mission; as soon as you have so accomplished it, you will return to England without delay, in order to present the report of your researches to the War Department, it being important that no time should be lost in making known this report, as it may be the means of elucidating the nature of the diseases affecting the army in the East. "17. On application to the commandant at Scutari, a passage will be afforded you in one of the first Government vessels returning to England; and immediately on your arrival you will report the same to the Secretary of State for the War Department. "18. Should one or both of your assistants desire to remain in the East, and should it prove that his or their services are required, the superintendent of the civil hospitals will be authorized to employ his or their services, if he should think fit to do so. If, on the contrary, either or both should prefer returning to England with you, a passage will be afforded to him or them on application to the commandant. The same option, with the approval of the principal medical officer, or superintendent of any civil hospital, may be given to your two English porters, if willing to take the duties of orderlies, or if it be found that they can otherwise usefully be employed.
