214 WORKS RELATING TO VETERINARY MEDICINE. 
every veterinarian with emotion, and will carefully be preserved 
as a testimonial of his love of the science, and handed down as a 
heir-loom to his children, who in their turn will one day come to 
seek in their own name fresh palms of the Central Society, whose 
business it will be to keep alive the sacred fire (of emulation). 
Bourgelat died in 1779. His attached pupils lost no time in 
dedicating to his memory a plain monument, now the precious 
treasure of the Alfort School. But will the veterinarians through- 
out Europe rest satisfied with this hasty tribute of veneration 1 
Will they not rather, one day, do more worthy honour to the 
founder of our schools, and cause a statue to be erected to his 
memory 1 
Gentlemen, let us exclaim, Glory to Bourgelat ! — honour to his 
genius ! — honour to the sage observer, to the distinguished writer, 
who, by his works, emancipated a science which we are left to 
protect and to promulgate ! 
*** We hope in our Number for next month to be able to give 
abstracts from the reports of the two meetings. — E d. Yet. 
ENUMERATION OF WORKS RELATING TO VETERINARY 
MEDICINE PUBLISHED UP TO THE YEAR 1838. 
By M . Leblanc. 
Veterinarians in general are, perhaps, not sufficiently ac- 
quainted with the literary riches of the art they profess, especially 
when that art comes to be considered in the light it has a right to 
be, — of a complex science, made up of divers branches of studies 
professed at the present day with more or less fulfilment in the 
veterinary schools of France ; studies which at once embrace vete- 
rinary medicine properly so called, and rural economy in general. 
Some notions of this may be obtained by casting our eyes over 
the catalogue of the late M. J. B. Huzard, arranged by M. P. Le- 
blanc, formerly bookseller. In this catalogue we find an account, 
probably not far from being complete, of all known works that 
have been published in different languages and different countries 
up to the death of M. Huzard, which took place in November 1838. 
For curiosity’s sake, I have stripped this catalogue of the fol- 
lowing summaries : — 
I. Veterinary Medicine properly so called : 
lstly. Introductions. — Histories. — Dictionaries. — Journals. — 
35 works. 
(Many of these works consist of several volumes.)
