Excerpt from Discourse on the Importance of a General Diffusion of a Knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene: Delivered at the Auburn Female Seminary, May 30th, 1838 By the urgent solicitation of your excellent preceptor, Mr. Hosmer, I have been persuaded to deliver, at this Institution, a short series of Lectures on the important sciences of Ana tomy, Physiology, and Hygiene; Suffering, as I am at present, under the severest earthly affliction, I find that what I had anticipa ted as an agreeable pastime, is indeed an onerous task and nothing but a sense of duty impels me now to a fulfilment of my engagement. How far this sense of obligation actuates me you will understand, when assured that I have ever declined receiving any pecuniary compensation for my services; believing that in the consciousness of having imparted instruction on subjects so little understood, and of such vast importance to all, I shall find ample reward.
