Before we make mention of this work, which 

 has the approbation of the Royal Academy of 

 Sciences^ it will not be unacceptable to our read- 

 'ers, we apprehend, to have a more particular 

 account of the fymptoms of this diforder than 

 M. la Fofie has laid down, that we may the 

 better judge of the merit of our author and his 

 difcoveries. ' — - ■ 



The matter then difcharged from the noflrils 

 of a glander'd horfe is either white, yellow, or

 blood ; when the difeafe is of long Handing, the 

 matter turns blackllh, and becomes very fetid, 

 v.and is always attended with a fv/elling of the 

 kernels or glands under the jaws •, in every 

 other refpedl the horfe is generally healthy and 

 found till "the diflemper has been of fome con- 

 tinuance. 



From thefe fymptoms and fome obfervations 

 made by Bracken and Gibfon, it is plain they 

 were not abfolute flrangers to the feat of this 

 r diforder, though they neglefted pufhing their 

 enquiries to the fountain-head, and confequent- 

 ly were at a lofs to know how to apply the re- 

 medy to the parts afte6i:ed. ; 



But our author after examining by diffedlionthe 

 carcafes of glander'd horfes, and making a ftrid 

 fcrutiny into the ftate of the vifcera, affiftcd for 

 that purpofe by ingenious and expert anatomifls 

 for ten years together, afiirms this difeafe to be 

 altogether locaU and that the true feat of it is
