Odiham Societi/ y Jan. 12, 1791. 
At a meeting of the committee appointed by the Odiham Agri¬ 
cultural Society, to meet in London, and held at the Blenheim 
Coffee-house, New Bond Street, on the 12th of January, 1791, 
It was unanimously resolved, 
That the immediate objects of the Society are to establish a 
fund, by subscription, for collecting, by premiums, well authen¬ 
ticated facts relating to the diseases in horses, cows, and sheep; 
their treatment and cure ; for establishing an extensive communi¬ 
cation with foreign veterinary societies; for the speedy and gene¬ 
ral circulation of such memoirs on the diseases of horses, cows, 
and sheep, as may be communicated to the Society ; for providing 
a building as an hospital for diseased horses, cows, and sheep; 
and for promoting the science of farriery, by regular education in 
it, on medical and anatomical principles. 
That an advertisement be forthwith inserted in the public 
papers of the Morning Post, and English Chronicle, for the pur¬ 
pose of soliciting subscriptions towards the several beforemen- 
tioned objects of the Society. 
That a circular to the same purpose be sent to all noblemen, 
gentlemen, and others, who may be thought most likely to be 
interested in the improvement of farriery in its several branches. 
That the thanks of the Society be given to Sir William For- 
dyce, and M. Vial de Saint Bel, for their memoirs on the dis¬ 
eases in horses, called the glanders; and to Mr. Charge, for his 
letter on the same subject; also to Mr. Taplin, for the present of 
his publication, intituled “ The Gentleman’s Stable Directory 
to Mr. Prosser, for the present of his treatise on “ The Strangles
