ON TUBERCULAR PHTHISIS. 
think and speak strongly, or who could then measure his expres- 
sions by common rules. 
And now we quit this painful, disgraceful subject. There is 
still room for the error to be repaired. The mode of reparation 
is, however, in some measure altered. We impugn not the mo.- 
tives of many of those who have been foremost in this contest ; 
but, the error being apparent, there arises in every good and 
generous mind an anxious wish fully to redeem it. Therefore 
we say again to those who have power and influence. Give to 
“ the old students’ society” a fair and ample opportunity to shew 
that, although it might be deluded into error, it could not be 
permanently dishonourable. 
The sketch of the essay on ‘‘Tubercular Phthisis,” by M. 
Richard, will be found to possess very great interest. If it throws 
but little light on the successful treatment of this opprobrium of 
the veterinary as well as the medical art, still by the clear views 
which it gives of its nature and seat, and connexions, and pro- 
bable causes, it is preparing the way for something more interest- 
ing and valuable at a future period. 
We have great pleasure in presenting this essay to our readers, 
although it will be readily supposed that we enter our protest 
against more than one of the favourite opinions of the author.

AN ESSAY ON TUBERCULAR PHTHISIS IN THE TWO 
FIRST CLASSES OF YERTEBRATED ANIMALS. 
By M. Richard, M. F., 7 th Artillery . 
[This thesis was maintained by M. Richard before the Faculty 
of Medicine in Strasbourg, in 1833. It has since fallen under 
the notice of M. Dupuy, who has long made tubercular pulmo- 
nary disease, and tubercular disease generally, the objects of his 
peculiar study. His review of it is found in the 3d No. of the 
new series of the “Journal Theorique et Pratique,” and to 
which they have given the name of the “Journal des Progres 
des Sciences Zooaitriques et de Medecine Comparee;” — a very
