Chapter III: Part 3

It is time that the physicians and surgeons of England, should exert themselves to change a system which has so long retarded the progress of their science, and been productive of so much evil to the community. We are persuaded, that there is good sense enough, both in the people and in the legislature, to listen to their representations. We would advise them to avail themselves of the means they possess to communicate information to the people, and to make individual members of parliament acquainted with the subject. With this view we would recommend the whole body to act in concert, to appoint a committee for conducting the matter, and to petition parliament, as soon as they shall have made the nature of their claims, and the grounds on which they rest, more generally known. If they act in co-operation with each other, and pursue their object temperately, and steadily, we cannot but believe, that their efforts at no distant period, will be crowned with success.
