DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Monitions to the Students of Medicine: A Lecture Introductory to the Course Delivered in the Philadelphia Anatomical Rooms, Session of 1824-5 The circumstances determining many of us to adopt a particular profession are seldom to be recollected. The choice is frequently the result of accident, sometimes of caprice, and occasionally of necessity. Hence, many of us set forth before we have had an Opportunity of inquiring to what point our path is to lead - what difiiculties may impede our progress, or what qualifications are necessary to our success. We are often fairly embarked, and return is no longer possible, before we discover the true nature of our enterprize, and though we then see how slenderly we are appointed for so hazardous a voyage, we can do nothing but make the best of our situation. The accidental ad0p tion of a profession would perhaps be of little disadvantage, could we be informed of the best course to pursue, or able to assume constancy and industry enough to surmount the difficulties that must present. Our knowledge often comes too late, except to convince us that much time has been lost and many efforts made in vain.
