THE ROYAL COLLEGE 
misled, no warning will prevent them; and whether they be the 
examiners or examined, they will meet with their due reward. 
I could say much more, and the materials are lying at my 
hand ; but I am intruding on your space. 
I am, Sir, your’s, obediently,

THE VETERINARIAN, MAY 1, 1848. 
Nc quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat. — Cicero. 
WHILE the proceedings of the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons have all along been marked by that openness and ho- 
nesty of purpose which long before this cannot fail, in every unbi- 
assed mind, to have bespoke for them unqualified approbation, and 
while the soundness of the cause their Council have had and yet 
have to battle for — which may be alleged as the best motive for 
such upright proceedings — has shone conspicuously all the way 
through, for our own part we have never until the present mo- 
ment — and we say this more in shame than in boast — made any 
mention of the talent displayed in the framing and wording of the 
several public documents from time to time issued by the Coun- 
cil. It was our duty to have done this, because the talent exhibited 
in these instruments is not of the ordinary measure : in proof 
whereof, we might recall to our reader’s memory the annual re- 
ports for the three years the Charter has been in existence ; the 
“ objections” urged, on the part of the College, against any alter- 
ations being made in their Charter, published in The VETERI- 
NARIAN for 1846; the “Memorial” in the same volume; the 
“Reply,” likewise, in the form of Memorial, in our current vo- 
lume. We need not, however, trouble our reader to rise from his 
seat for evidence, strong and convincing, of ability for office of our 
hard-working Council. We simply ^,sk him to attentively peruse 
their supplementary “ Memorial,” which we this month publish.
