144 TRAVELS
Dr. Floriman teaches ofteology, materia medica, and the vete-
rinary art.
The province of Dr. Munck is chiefly pathology.
In the faculty or clafs of philofophy there are feven profeffors,
and fifteen affiftant profeffors. The profeffors give lectures on
mathematics, algebra, aftronomy, natural hiftory, civil hiftory
- both ancient and modern, and hiftory of lite rature: the Greek
and oriental languages, botany, georgics, or rural ceconomy, the
law of nature and nations, metaphyfics, &c. 4
The profefforial affiftants, befides the elementary and moft
ufeful parts of natural fcience, fuch as geography, the elements
of botany, horticulture and other branches of georgics, teach a
kind of logic, which they define to be a branch of theoretical
philofophy ; that is, they teach to make fyllogifms, modes, and
figures, and all the old machinery of difputation: but the chief
bufinefs ae thefe affiftants feems to be, to explain with philofo-
phical and critical remarks the Greek and Latin claffics. They
anfwer in a great degree to what in fome countries are called,
profeffors of humanity. They alfo profefs to lecture on the hif-
tory of moral philofophy ; of which however they do not feem
to make any great account. In a profpectus of the lectures that
cre to be read, I find the following notice—‘ Laur P. Wahlin
« N. Mag. Hift. Litt. docens, fata philofophiz moralis futuris au-
«« ditoribus enarrare fibi propofuit.’* I could not learn that they
* « Laurence Wahlin, mafter of philofophy, and teacher of the hiftory of Jite-
« rature, propofes to give an account to thofe who may choofe to hear him, of
“ the hiftory of moral philofophy.”
