THE VETERINARIAN, JULY l, 1829 . 
“ Licet omnibus, Ucet etiam mihi, dignilatem artis veterinarice tueri. "—Cicero. 
WE have received several letters from veterinary surgeons residing 
in the country, all of them expressing, and some in very strong 
language, their surprise and indignation at the result of the last 
annual meeting of subscribers to the Veterinary College. A 
general meeting of the profession has been summoned for J uly 
the 8th, at the Freemasons’ Tavern, at six o’clock in the even¬ 
ing. Every veterinarian who feels interested in the welfare of his 
profession will, doubtless, be there; and, until the feeling of the 
body of practitioners be there expressed, our Correspondents will 
forgive us for withholding the sentiments of individuals, however 
much and truly we may value these individuals, and although we 
perfectly coincide with their sentiments. Thus far only will w r e 
say, that they unite in avowing their hope that all the griev¬ 
ances of the profession will be fearlessly exposed,—that some 
decisive measures will be taken, and the majority hint at those 
measures,—a memorial to the patron and president of the Col¬ 
lege, and an appeal to the good sense of the subscribers and the 
public.
