Text of a lecture delivered by Dr. Jesse R. Burden, Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics at the Philadelphia College of Medicine. Burden urged the school s students (at whose request the lecture was printed) to ".make Anatomy your closest study. Use your ears much; your eyes more: your hands most." "The Philadelphia College of Medicine had its origins in the Philadelphia School of Anatomy, which was established by James McClintock in 1838. In 1847 McClintock obtained a charter from the Pennsylvania Legislature to establish the Philadelphia College of Medicine. The five story building contained two lecture rooms, an anatomical theater, a museum, a dissecting room, classrooms, and rooms for professors." A leaf at the back of the pamphlet lists fees and the faculty, including anatomy professor James McClintock, M.D. as Dean. Note. 1.
