On Some Defects in General Education: Being the Hunterian Oration of the Royal College of Surgeons for 1869 (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 10. veebr 2018 - 166 pages Excerpt from On Some Defects in General Education: Being the Hunterian Oration of the Royal College of Surgeons for 1869 Having had the honour to be charged by the College of Surgeons with the delivery of the bien; nial Hunterian Orat'ion in the year 1869, I availed myself of the occasion to bring under notice some defects in the general education of the country, which in my opinion affect injuriously all classes of the people, and not least the members of my own profession. The Address then delivered is now pub lished according to usage. The earlier pages of it contain a short notice of the genius and the labours of John Hunter; but the subject of Education will be found to occupy the larger part - from page 12 to the end.
