smith, or sadler. Together with the discovery of the subtil trade 
or mystery of horse-coursers, and an explanation of the excellency

Buchoz, physician to the late King of Poland, was a great natu¬ 
ralist, and wrote a Veterinary Dictionary, with a Description of 
Domestic Animals, containing their manners, characters, and ana¬ 
tomy; the method of feeding and governing them; the aliments 
proper for rearing them; the diseases to which they are subject; 
and their several properties, as well for medicinal purposes and the 
food of man, as for all other uses of civil life : to which is subjoined 
a “ Tauna Gallica.” Published at Paris, 1772, in 2 vol. 8vo, with 
plates. 
Exleben also, an eminent naturalist, born at Quedlinburg, in 
1744, published some Practical Observations on the Veterinary 
Art in 1774. 
With the several learned works on Veterinary Science by Mr. 
James Clark, and some hints for improving the Healing and Ve¬ 
terinary Art by Mr. Champney, published at London in 1797, in 
his work on Medical and Chirurgical Reform, we have mentioned 
most, if not all, of the classical veterinary literature previous to the 
present century. 
I subjoin what certainly must prove useful to your readers of 
modern French veterinary works, viz.. Tables of the Values of the 
old and new French Weights and Measures, compared with those 
now used in our own country. 
I am, Sir, 
Your’s, very respectfully, 
Plantagenet.
