A45272 A corner-stone laid towards the building of a new colledge (that is to say, a new body of physicians) in London upon occasion of the vexations and oppressive proceedings acted in the name of the society called the Colledge of Physicians : for the better information of all men, as well as of physicians, chirurgians, and apothecaries, touching the unhappy estate of the art of physick, here in England, it being an apology for the better education of physicians / by Adrian Huyberts.
