of the errors in the report in The V eterin arian ; and further, 
I beg leave to inform you, that a full report of the proceedings 
of the Society, in relation to the late differences, shall be fur- 
nished to you at the earliest opportunity, 
I have the honour to be, 
Sir, 
Your most obedient servant, 
William Miles, 
To W. Youatt, Esq. Secretary.

Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, tie quid veri non audeat. — Cicero. 
In order that the veterinary readers of this Journal may be in 
full possession of the question lately at issue at the St. Pancras 
College, the Circular of the new Committee of Management of 
the Medical Society has been printed at length. It had been 
pretty extensively circulated among the old members of the 
Society, in various parts of the kingdom ; but every one shall now 
have an opportunity of judging for himself, and shall be left to 
draw his own conclusion on many points ; for the writer of the 
“ faithful narrative” of these proceedings, in the last number of 
The Veterinarian, will not disgrace himself by entering the 
lists with an anonymous and scurrilous antagonist. 
One point only will he contest. He is accused of “ meddling 
with that which does not concern him.” What! has the founder 
of an useful institution like this, nothing to do with its welfare? 
Is he to divest himself of all human feeling? Mr. Coleman is 
made to call himself the founder of this Society. That gentleman 
was its most strenuous opposer — he fought as long as he could — 
his opposition was one of “the difficulties that attended its 
establishment;” but when he saw that the pupils would have it, 
and that its views and purposes and manner of working were 
right, he politicly, and with as good a grace as he could, 
yielded. “That which does not concern him!” — Good God! 
of what materials is this anonymous libeller composed ? I can, 
perhaps, form some shrewd guess at them, when I read the 
utter and wilful falsification of Mr. Spooner’s address. This 
stamps an indelible character of mendacity on the whole account.
