The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 31

From John Wyllie. M.D.,F.R.C.S.E.; Lecturer on General Pathology to the School of Medicine, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh. Edinburgh, 9, Howe Street, August 5th, 1873

From John Wyllie. M.D.,F.R.C.S.E.; Lecturer on General Pathology to the School of Medicine, Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh. Edinburgh, 9, Howe Street,

I became acquainted with Dr. Mitlen Coughtrey some years age when he was Assistant in the Pathological Department of the Royal Infirmary, and I subsequently saw much of bins when he was one of the Demonstrators of Anatomy under Professor Turner. He impressed me as a man of much ability, who had a great enthusiasm for the subjects to which he specially devoted himself. He is a good Anatomist and Pathologist. He is also an excellent draughtsman, and he showed himself to be very obliging by the kind way in which he on many occasions placed this talent at the service of his friends. Ire has had much experience in teaching, having been Demonstrator of Anatomy for a considerable time both in Edinburgh, and subsequently in Liverpool. I believe from his training and natural ability that he would be a valuable teacher in a School of Medicine. I have no doubt also, from his distinguished career as a student, that he would prove himself an excellent practitioner, should he choose to devote himself to medical practice rather than to science. I wish him every success in the new sphere to which he is about to betake himself.

John Wyllie.
