to play with you; but there is an impression that I am wrong — 
that 1 at present labour under more aberration of mind than the 
dog. Nous verrons. Have the kindness not to rise until the 
mad one is safely disposed of, and let me see you to-morrow. 
[The Editor begs leave to present his readers with the inte- 
resting and laboured account of Glanders in the Human Being, 
given by Dr. Copland in his Dictionary of Practical Medicine. 
It has been well said of this invaluable work, that it displays 
such an extraordinary extent of reading, and such deep and com- 
prehensive reflection, as to demand a place in the library of every 
medical man. 
Rabies has long been a kind of common ground between the 
practitioners of human and veterinary medicine ; and the sad 
experience of many past years is assigning to glanders a similar 
locality. In a more lax sense of the term, but a very consoling 
one to us, the whole extent of medical inquiry and practice is 
common ground ; it is the application of the same grand prin- 
ciples, varied by difference of structure, of function, and of im- 
portance in the scale of being. 
There is not a single disease in the quadruped on which the 
corresponding article in this Dictionary does not throw some 
and often very important light. Our readers will be assured of 
that before they have finished the perusal of this Essay on 
Glanders ; and we will venture to say, that there will be very 
few veterinary surgeons, who have regard to their own respecta- 
bility and the improvement of their profession, in whose library 
this work will not find a place.] Y.
