THE UNIVERSITY.

THERE are two German Universities in the Austrian Empire, Vienna and Prague; and five Lyceums, Lemberg, Graetz, Olmutz, Klagenfurt, and Linz. The difference between the Universities and the Lyceums, so far as concerns medical study, is that surgery alone is taught in the latter, both medicine and surgery in the former.

The Emperor Frederic II. as appears from a work which he composed, and which bears for title," De Arte Venandi cum Avibus," had himself made numerous observations in Comparative Anatomy. He is quoted as an authority by Professor Blumenbach. Frederic is entitled to the everlasting gratitude of mankind, for the exertions which he made in opposing the superstitions and the prejudices, which during the thirteenth century, pressed down into the dust, knowledge of almost every kind, especially medical knowledge. He got Galen translated, gave orders that every year in Palermo, a human body should be dissected, and commanded that no man should be permitted to practice surgery who had not studied

The best edition of the above-mentioned work, is that of Professor Schneider, printed at Leipzig in 1788, in two volumes quarto.
