I. Elements of Veterinary Pathology , and Theoretical and Practical 

 View of the Medical and Surgical Treatment of the prificipal 

 Domestic Animals. Paris^ 1829. 



In recommending this work to the attention of our readers, 

 we may express our opinion respecting the immense advantages 

 which might result to the study of the diseases of man, from 

 observations and experiments made upon the diseases of ani- 

 mals. The most happy results would probably be derived from 

 a union of medicine and the veterinary art in schools. The 

 important advantages which have of late years resulted to phy- 

 siology from the study of animals, may serve to shew how Hke 

 advantages may be derived by medicine. It is not from human 

 physiology alone, nor from veterinary physiology considered by 

 itself, that these advantages have been obtained, but from general 

 physiology. As there is but one physiology, so ought there 

 also to be but one pathology ; and it is upon this general and 

 comparative pathology alone that the progress of veterinary 

 medicine, and especially of human medicine, must henceforth 

 depend.

This delightful volume, which may be placed alongside 

 White's Natural History of Selborne, one of the most agreeable 

 works of the kind in our language, having already made a 

 triumpharit round of the different reviews and journals, requires 

 no particular notice from us. We cannot, however, refrain 

 from extracting the following observations on Natural History, 

 which we are sure will be read with pleasure : — " It is rather a 

 subject of surpri.se, that, in our general associations and com- 

 mixtures in life, in times so highly enlightened as the present, 

 when many ancient prejudices are gradually flitting away, as 

 reason and science dawn on mankind, we should meet with so 

 few, comparatively speaking, who have any knowledge of, or 

 take the least interest in, natural histor3i ; or, if the subject ob- 

 tain a moment's consideration, it has no abiding place in the
