ANALYSIS OF 1835. 
The sheep is not quite neglected in this volume. The hints on 
phrenitis by Mr. Tait are useful. Mr. Harris gives, without ex¬ 
ception, the best description of rabies in that animal that has 
issued from the British press. The treatment of inflammation 
in the udder and the uterus, by Messrs. Ainslie and Clarke, are 
valuable; and particularly the account of the water-bellied 
lambs by the latter. 
The dog has been almost forgotten by the contributors to this 
volume, with the exception of a few remarks on fracture of the 
humerus, rabies, and the treatment of enlarged thyroid glands. 
Of the miscellaneous papers, those on the relation between the 
veterinary surgeon and the practitioner of human medicine will 
not be overlooked ; and the account of the presentation of a bust 
of himself to Professor Coleman will be a subject of historical 
record. 
We have spoken thus freely, and truly we believe, of the cha¬ 
racter of this volume of The Veterinarian, because it is the 
work of our friends, far more than our own; and we are free to 
confess, that if, at the outset of our career, it had been told us 
that in any one year such important service would have been 
rendered to the cause of veterinary science, we should have 
deemed the prediction too flattering to be realized. 
As for the future, we will only say, that we will still endeavour 
to deserve the support we experience. We have been enabled 
to open a communication with foreign correspondents that pro¬ 
mises to be useful. The lectures will take on a rather different 
character: they will be contributions to the nascent, neglected, 
but all-important study of animal pathology. 
As to our home contributors, we look to them with gratitude 
and expectation : they will not desert the work which they 
nursed into such extended usefulness. We bid them, a little 
before the time, a merry Christmas and a happy new year;’^ 
and they will indeed render us merry and happy, if, in the course 
of this month, they will load the table of our study with good 
cheer for the mind, and for the veterinary profession.
