REVIEWS. 
An extensive periodical veterinary medical literature 
exists. I have time here only to allude to the Veterinarian^ 
a journal published in Great Britain, and distinguished for 
the variety and excellence of its contributions, now in its 
fortieth volume; and to the ^ Repertorium der Thiersheil- 
kunde,’ commenced at Stuttgart in 1840, and of which, up 
to 1866, twenty-seven volumes had appeared. 
Several treatises have been published upon medico-legal 
veterinary science, chiefly, if not exclusively, in the German 
language. Among the latest works of this kind is that of 
A. C. Gerlach, Professor in the Royal Veterinary School at 
Hanover. Homoeopathic veterinary medicine and surgery 
appear to have thus far made little progress, either in this 
country, in England, or on the continent of Europe. In 
1863, Dr. G. W. Sclirader, of Hamburg, and Dr. Edward 
Hering, of Stuttgart, published a ^ Universal Biographico- 
Literary Lexicon of Veterinary Surgeons,’ comprising upwards 
of 2000 names, and forming a closely printed octavo volume 
of nearly 500 pages, illustrated with forty-three portraits and 
ninety-five autographs; a work in striking and painful con¬ 
trast with our want of concern about the honoured dead of 
the medical professhin. 
^‘Numerous veterinary medical associations exist both in 
Great Britain and on the continent of Europe; and the 
former country recently inaugurated a medical congress, em¬ 
bracing many of the most able and distinguished veterinary 
surgeons of the land. The subject of education and reform 
is everywhere, as among us, engaging earnest attention.” 
It is satisfactory to find our brothers on the other side of 
the Atlantic taking an interest in our veterinary journals and 
associations; and still more gratifying when the eloquent 
assertor of the importance of veterinary science is a dis¬ 
tinguished member of tbe medical profession.
