440 REMARKS ON MR. MORTON’S SPEECH, &c. 
Had he, as he ordinarily should have done, seen these docu- 
ments before his Leader was written, he does not think that that 
paper would have been very different from what it now is. Mr. 
Morton has fully confirmed his account of the character of the 
session 1840-41, and its probable injurious influence on the mind 
of the student and the reputation of the profession. He has re- 
ferred to the same prevailing opinion with regard to the baneful 
influence of Mr. Sewell’s circular, and has, as every man must do, 
used language fully as strong as that adopted by the Editor of 
The Veterinarian. He likewise, with the Editor of that 
journal, urges the members of the profession to continue their 
records of important cases, and to give their opinions freely, 
clothed, perhaps, in a little more guarded language — in that, for 
instance, which is adopted by writers on human medicine and 
surgery, or even more concise than it ; but, he adds, and the Editor 
most reluctantly records it, that these measures not being adopted, 
“ there is but one other plan, and that is, for the profession so to 
support its Journal by subscriptions and otherwise, that it may 
not get into other hands than those that are members of the 
profession,” — a plan totally impossible to be adopted — which 
would be the perfect laughing-stock of every Journalist and every 
one who wished to pilfer, and ruining, in the estimation of medical 
men, and of the whole of Europe, the character of our profession. 
Again we entreat our old friends to favour us with their opinion, 
not with a view to the adoption of any course that would com- 
promise the honour of our art in the slightest possible degree, but 
with the hope, or rather the certainty, of uniting us all once more 
in maintaining the high character of veterinary science.
