I am Thomas Smith, of 42, East Street, Ipecac Square, Emetic, in the county of Surrey. I am a surgeon, and I live in Ipecac Square, because I like to be near my professional brethren. Emetic is a large town; it contains, I believe, upwards of ten thousand inhabitants; and I am one of five who share among us the whole of the surgical practice of the place. I am in partnership with Jones and Robinson;
