CHAP. III.] WRITERS ON HYDROPHOBIA. 437 



Suit, Surgeon, communicated to us, subsequently 

 to 1810 ; in which year he published the result of 

 his dissection of several horses which had died of 

 hydrophobia, partly under his own inspection *. 

 The substance of all our friend's observations is 

 embodied in the foregoing pages. A writer, who 

 adopts the signature of H. C. in addressing the 

 publisher of the Annals of Sporting f, has com- 

 municated much practical information on the subject 

 of canine madness, that is well worthy the perusal 

 of all persons interested in this order of created 

 beings. 



* Those papers appeared in the "Medical and PhysicalJournal," 

 No. 131, and several successive numbers; Mr. Stirr being accom- 

 panied on one occasion by Dr. Adams and Mr. Pettigrew. The 

 subsequent decease of Mr. Surr ought to call forth the sincere 

 acknowledgments of his private worth, in addition to this tribute to 

 his professional industry ; but this course would be little consonant 

 with the wishes of the majority of our readers, it is presumed, and 

 we reluctantly relinquish that design. 



f First in No. 34, p. 22G ; in No. 35, p. 259, No. 40, p. 224, and 

 No. 44, p. 77- These papers should be read by every one having 

 aught to do with dog or horse ; indeed much real good might be done 

 by printing a cheap edition by " the Tract Society," for distribution. 

 They should be preceded by the very nervous appeal that called them 

 forth ; which appeared in the Annals, No. 33, p. 191, from the pen 

 of our friend Jon Bee, and also gave the impulse to " T." on the 

 same subject in No. 44, p. 75. See also No. 7, pages 4 to 9.
