26 PRODUCTION OF MILK RY ARTIFICIAL MEANS. 
sion in general, look forward with no small degree of pleasure to 
your forth-coming Periodical, not only as a work of amusement 
but instruction. I ought to apologize for intruding upon you 
thus early, but the urgency of my statement I hope will plead 
my excuse. 
Professor Coleman in his Introductoiy Lecture stated, 
among other sources from whence we were to gain our informa¬ 
tion, that Mr. Sewell (the Sub-Professor) would demon¬ 
strate to us; by which, I understand an accurate anatomical 
description of the different parts of the Horse. The same 
thing was promised last year; but the demonstrations—if rfe- 
monstrations they could be called—were so few and so imper¬ 
fectly done that they would have disgraced even a junior pupil. 
We have again commenced this season. Sir, just after the old 
plan; which I can only attribute, either to a great dereliction 
of duty or a want of capability on the part of the Sub-Profes¬ 
sor. Why do not we have in this, as in all other schools of 
anatomy, one hour set apart daily for demonstration ? 
Again, all operations are performed on the intermediate days 
of Mr. Coleman^s lecturing; when not half the pupils are 
present, from their residing at considerable distances and the 
uncertainty of any operations being performed. Due Notice of 
all Operations ought to be posted in the Theatre. There are so 
many disadvantages under which we labour that it would oc¬ 
cupy too much space to state them at present: but; if you con¬ 
sider this of sufficient importance, I may again intrude myself 
upon your notice. I beg to remain, yours, most obediently.

Mr. Editor; 
THE Profession and the Public will have great reason to ap¬ 
plaud the publication of The Veterinarian, a journal much 
called for, and one that will no doubt meet with ample support. 
For the present I shall confine myself to a case which I consi-
