WHEN Dr. Robertson, the Historian,
• firft went to London, after the publi
cation of his Hiftory, of Scotland, amongst
other matkß of diftinffion which were paid
trv h T *h h; 0
Majesty, who honored him with a pnvate in
terview, and a long converfatipn. His Ma
jesty did not fa,il to enquire into the Hate of
the IJaiverOty .of Edinburgh, of the Doftor,
who is the principal of it, and in particular
concerning .the Medical Profe/Tors of it, all
of whom his Majesty knew extremely welt by
name aud character. The Doftor being taken
on his own ground, expatiated at large with
great gravity and decorum, now and then
Urokiug his band, upon the merits of the E
dinburgh college; mentioned the various
brauches of learning which were taught in it;
the number of ftudents’ that thronged*to it
from every quarter of the world; and in re
ply to his Majesty’s particular enquiry con
cerning it as a school of physic, he observed,
that no college could boast of conferring the
degrees of physic on so many graduates as
that of Edinburgh, for it annually sent out no
kfs than 30 or 40 physicians, besides num
bers of thofe* who exercited the lower func
tions of the faculty, as Surgeons and Apothe
caries.— *** Heaven (exclaimed his Majesty,
interrupting the Doftor) have mercy upon my
