THE VETEH INARY CHARTER. 
shall be individually known and distinguished by the name or title 
of “ Veterinary Surgeon.” 
The Charter contains many other provisions, which we hope to 
publish in full in our next Number, with our remarks thereon. We 
can only add, now, our sincere congratulations on the successful ter- 
mination of the labours of the Committee, which will prove one of 
the greatest steps for the advancement of veterinary science ever 
accomplished in this or any other country. 
The Editors have unfeigned pleasure in laying a second docu- 
ment, just received, before the profession. Its value cannot be 
too highly estimated. It will, in truth, form the commencement 
of a new and glorious era in the veterinary art. We have 
now, however, only time and space to announce the receipt of 
it. — E d.
