that so kindly take an interest in their proceedings for this purpose ;

England and the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland, will 
thus be materially assisted in carrying out their own enlarged and 
important intentions ; while the Royal College of Veterinary Sur- 
geons will receive an impress from their support and co-operation 
that will go far to sustain it in that independent, but, at the same 
time, efficient and useful position, in which it will always be its 
proudest boast to be placed, but which education and science alone 
can enable it permanently and honourably to retain.
