remedy for this great evil, and, I hope, be attended with consi¬ 
derable public benefit; as also a grateful offering to humanity, in 
diminishing the intolerable sufferings of this abused animal, 
and the extending also his valuable services profitably to a later 
period of his life.” 
After this expose I trust Mr. Turner will not again pretend to 
the merit of discovering a remedy for “ the chief error in the pre¬

and I would recommend him to be moderate in his rejoicings at 
this supposed accession to their cause (the honourable distinction 
which he has been pleased to confer on me in consequence of my 
last paper on the foot), lest I should prove so ungrateful as to 
disclose to the enemy their vulnerable parts, and thereby weaken 
instead of strengthen their mighty cause. 
I really, Mr. Editor, have not the patience to stay my pen in
