EDITORIAL. 
the publication and success of the Review, we can reach that object, 
if we can draw the Veterinary Science in America from the low stand¬ 
ing in which it has been for so many years, our labors will have received 
theii full reward. From its first number the journal has been improving 
in interesting matter, and we shall spare nothing to make it worthy of 
our noble profession, and interesting to our indulgent colleagues. 
VETERINARY EDUCATION. 
With the conclusion of Professor McEachran’s paper, and a trans¬ 
lation of the doings of the Veterinary School at Dorpat (Russia), we 
print two letters on the subject of Veterinary Education, from two 
graduates of the Toronto Veterinary College. Our friend, Professor 
Smith, has informed us of a communication on the same subject; and 
we have no doubt that other Veterinarians of the United States and 
Canada will have something to say in relation to that very important 
matter. We ask for them; it is only by reading the opinions of all 
parties interested that we can arrive to a change which will necessarily 
mean progress. From the discussion which will be raised it will not be 
this school or that college which will be benefited ; it will be the pro¬ 
fession at large. This Continent is large enough to support several 
institutions of Veterinary Science ; and there ought not to be between 
them any other sentiment of rivalry than that, to benefit as well and as 
much as possible the guardians of our live stock. 
AS HISTORY IS WRITTEN. 
We have received lately the latter part of the “ Dictionnaire de

trates to-day French Veterinary literature; and at the article Ve'te'rinaire 
(Veterinary), we have found a few lines relating to the profession in 
America. It is so amusing for those who are acquainted with the sub¬ 
ject, that we have thought proper to give our readers a translation of 
the whole aiticle. For the writer to say, that our domestic animals have 
yet but little value; that Veterinary Colleges founded by Cumming ? ex¬ 
ist ; that there is an association which has library, museum, etc., and 
that we have a periodial published by Dadd, show on his part a lack of 
knowledge which we would advise him to improve. We would friendly 
refer him to the first number of the Review, where he will find the
