unusual or inconsistent in this; but what I more particularly com- 
plain of on the part of Mr. Evans is, that he should have thought 
proper to dress the wound a few hours after me, without taking 
the case under his own treatment. This appears somewhat strange, 
and you will much oblige me by allowing that Gentleman space 
in your valuable pages to say, whether his interference in dressing 
the wound was voluntary, and arose from a belief that the appli- 
cation which he used would excite the wound to a healthy suppu- 
ration, and mine would not, or that he was prevailed upon to in- 
terfere solely from Mr. Musson’s entreaties.

next number, Avith my name, as I conceive that such unwarrantable 
and unprofessional conduct ought not to escape public notice.

purpose has been unequivocally and honestly disavowed; and they 
have pledged themselves to the accomplishment of one simple but 
glorious object — the improvement of the husbandry of England. 
One motive by which they were swayed Avas, doubtless, the ad- 
vancement of their own individual interest; but there Avere other 
feelings, and of a higher character, and one of the most influential 
of them was, “ to be enabled to give more bread to their dependent 
Avorkmen, and to strengthen the resources of their country.” 
“ The produce of the corn and grass lands of England and 
Wales,” says Mr. Pusey, Avho, Avith his characteristic zeal in a 
good cause, undertook the editing of this first part of the Journal,
