THE FETERINARIAN, APRIL 1, 1835. 
Ne quid falsi dicere audeat, ne quid veri non audeat.—C icero. 
It is known to most of our readers, that many of the former 
and present pupils of Professor Coleman had determined to pre¬ 
sent him with a bust of himself, as a token of their respect. The 
presentation took place in the College Theatre, on Tuesday, tlie 
10th of March. The bust was by Sievier. It was an admirable

and gratitude. He addressed the Professor in nearly the follow-

and advantage to your pupils. They are pleased to observe, that, 
after so lengthened a career, you are still enabled effectively to 
discharge the duties of that chair; but, ere you pass away from 
among them, they are anxious to present you with this testimony 
of the sense they feel of your habitual amenity of manners and 
the excellence of your instructions. I feel some difficulty in ex¬ 
pressing myself as I could wish on this point; but I can say that 
you have ever given ample satisfaction to the majority of your 
pupils. 
The veterinary art is of no recent date. It was known and 
cultivated in the time of the Greeks and Romans, and the writings 
of Palladius and Veccetius have reached us at this distant time, 
and are duly prized. Although, with the other sciences, it seemed
