TESTIMONIAL TO MAJOR GENERAL SIR FREDERICK FITZWY- 
GRAM, BART. 
Dear Sir: —At a meeting held in Red Lion Square, London,, 
on the 1st of July, 1879, it was unanimously resolved that a 
Testimonial should be presented to Major General Sir Frederick 
Fitzwygram, Bart., in recognition of the great interest he has 
taken in the advancement of the profession and the very able 
manner with which he carried out the duties of President of the 
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons during the three years he 
held that office. It may be correctly affirmed that he spared 
neither time, trouble nor expense in advancing the position of 
our calling and in effecting a reconciliation between conflicting 
interests in the profession. Besides which, he has offered induce¬ 
ments far greater than any previously existing, to encourage 
students to pursue their studies and to become more thoroughly 
efficient in every branch of their education. 
It is proposed that the Testimonial should take the form of 
a Portrait to be presented to Sir Frederick by a united profession 
as a token of the respect and high esteem in which he is held, and 
that a duplicate portrait be hung in the college. The presumed 
cost will be from 300 to 400 guineas, and to raise this amount 
the subscriptions will be unlimited. The following gentlemen 
have consented to form the Executive Committee, and in their 
names I solicit your interest in this proposal and request that 
you will kindly forward your subscription to the treasurer, Henry 
Joseph Cartwright, Veterinary Surgeon, Wolverhampton, 
I beg to remain, Dear Sir, 
Yours very truly, 
Knott Mill, Thomas Greaves, 
Manchester. Hon. Sec.
