REVIEW-— HUMAN AND COMPARATIVE 
years will pass ere that gradual, legitimate amelioration of our 
education and our practice will take place which it would be 
madness for any to oppose, and which all will hail with gra- 
tulation. 
We have appended the abstract of the debates of the Associ- 
ation to the old V eterin ari an, rather than making ita part of 
the Journal, in order that our readers may be enabled to make sepa- 
rate volumes of them at the end of the year. The increased size 
of the whole has compelled us to make some addition to the 
price of our periodical, and to which we are assured that our 
friends will not object. They will still have their quid pro quo, 
and in the present number they have a sheet thrown in. Cir- 
cumstances have somewhat displaced our arrangements in the 
present number ; but in the next, and, we trust, in every succeed- 
ing number, we shall be enabled to present our readers with some 
lithographed illustration of interesting points in physiology and 
pathology ; every number shall likewise contain a review of 
some work directly veterinary, or intimately connected with our 
art. We are very much in arrears here, and we will try to wipe 
out all old scores. Other matter presses upon us, and, with 
these few observations, we take our leave for the present.

Quid sit pulchrum, quid turpe, quid utile, quid non.— Hor. 
A Compendium of Human and Comparative Pathological Ana- 
tomy , by Adolphe Wilheim Otto, M.D . Translated from 
the German, with additions, notes and references, by J. F. 
South, Anatomical Lecturer at St. Thomas’s. B. Fellowes, 
Ludgate Street. 
We commence our series of Reviews with a work of much in- 
terest and value to the medical practitioner, and from which 
the veterinary surgeon will derive great advantage. It is, in 
truth, a compendium of the vices or morbid states of every part 
of the animal frame, principally relating to the human being ; 
but, so far as the author or the translator has had opportunity 
of reading or observing, extending to every known animal. 
We have rarely seen a work in which so much important matter 
has been condensed in so little space. Let us take, as one of 
the shortest and simplest, the account which he gives of the 
lesions of the spinal marrow.
