TO CORRKSPONDENTS. I(j5 
Spooner. Mr. Daws, of Gresse Street, was elected Honorary 
Secretary. 
We are glad to see so many respectable men forming the 
nucleus of this new club. May friendship and harmony preside 
over their meetings !—and then we doubt not that, while they are 
pleased with each other, the interests of veterinary science will 
be essentially promoted. 
We acknowledge with many, very many thanks, the receipt of 
various communications on the subject referred to in the close of 
our leading article of the January number. Mr. T.’s was received 
this morning. Any others with which our friends may favour us 
must be received before the 10th of March, or they will not be 
available. 
We are exceedingly sorry that the postage of certain letters, 
the whole of which we thought had been paid, should be charged 
to some of our friends. On the other hand, they must kindly 
look a little to the construction and folding of their letters, for one 
that we received in the last month, being charged to us by weight, 
cost OS. 6d. 
The first volume of a new edition of Hurtrel D^ArbovaTs Dic¬ 
tionary is announced; but we have not yet been able to learn 
whether it is an improved work or a mere reprint. We shall 
soon know, and our correspondent shall hear from us. In the 
meantime we would advise him to wait; for our continental 
brethren beat us out and out in the trickery of new editions. 
We hope very shortly to be enabled to establish a corre¬ 
spondence in the very heart of Germany, and periodically to tell 
our friends what our brethren are doing there. 
We cannot hear of any person to suit our friend in the West, nor 
do we think it probable that we shall. Why does he not advertize ? 
The operations recommended by M. de Nanzio are described 
by Italian veterinarians nearly 300 years ago. His rescuing 
them from oblivion, however, is no impeachment of his claim or 
his merit. 
The receipt of Mr. M—’s letter gave us unfeigned pleasure. 
Let by-gones be by-gones for ever and a day. He will see one 
reason for the non-insertion of his letter, even had it arrived in time. 
To the cases to which he refers we should thankfully give 
insertion ; nor should we object, by and by, to a little controver¬ 
sial writing. The thoughts may breathe, but the words must 
uoi absolutely h\xxn. Y.
