Tiiii EDITORS ADDRESS TO THEIR READERS. 53 
and oftener to instruct. We will not be idle, and our readers 
must, as hitherto, be indulgent. 
We have lately perused, with much pleasure, the prospectus 
of a work speedily to be published, by Mr. Vines, of the Veteri¬ 
nary College, on u Glanders and Farcy.” 
Mr. Vines has had ample opportunity of becoming acquainted 
with the character of these sadly untractable diseases; and we 
understand that he means to develope a new and very successful 
mode of treating them. 
There is no student that has left the College for many a year 
past who is not under much obligation to this gentleman, and w ho, 
in fact, is not indebted to him for all that he knows of the anatomy 
of the horse. 
Mr. Vines has been, and is, most inadequately remunerated at 
the College. To us he has never complained, and we believe that 
he w ould scorn to do so; but we have collected from different 
sources a little history that would scarcely be credited. 
The veterinary student has now an opportunity of showing his 
gratitude to his old and very efficient demonstrator. The subscrip¬ 
tion will be half a guinea, received either by Mr. Vines, at the 
College, or Mr. Long, 217, High Holborn, and, we will venture 
to add, ourselves.

is the person who is especially interested on the present occasion;
