of science. It will last only until the next case occurs, and that 
not quite so formidable as the other ; and then what is the course 
that he pursues ? Why, he sends for the nearest pretender to 
avoid the expense of the scientific man to whom he was so re- 
cently under such a deep sense of obligation. Such instances as 
the foregoing, it is to be regretted, are not unfrequent ; and it is 
not at all uncommon for such illiberal persons to plunge a deeper 
sting into the heart of the regular and emulous practitioner by 
jeopardizing his well-earned fame in urging his personal attend- 
ance upon valuable dying beasts at the eleventh hour, while they 
and their ducks have been quacking away the preceding ten, the 
only rightful and, perhaps, again successful province of the re- 
gular vet. 
To Mr. Youatt, Gentlemen, the public and ourselves are 
deeply indebted for the energetic manner in which he has, for a 
series of years, wielded his powerful pen in favour of scientific 
instruction being imparted to the students relative to the ana- 
tomy, physiology, and pathology of cattle and sheep, including, 
also, the still lower classes of animals ; and most gratifying in- 
deed must it be to the feelings of that noble minded man to have 
lived to witness this vacuity so efficiently filled by the recent ap- 
pointment of a lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College on this 
branch of education in the person of Mr. Simonds, a gentleman 
brought up in the practical school, and who, in conjunction with 
his other scientific attainments, cannot fail to render his full 
share to the public weal and general advancement of science. 
It affords me much pleasure. Gentlemen, in conclusion, to ac- 
quaint you that my excellent friend, Mr. William Field, will 
deliver the Oration for 1843, in whose hands I feel assured the 
honour of our art will be maintained, and the ends of science 
most ably advocated and advanced.
