    THE VETERINARY EXAMINER, OR MONTHLY RECORD OF PHYSIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY. No II. JANUARY, 1833. Vql. I. It is not in the power of mortals to command success, but we will do more, try to deserve it.” HISTORY OF VETERINARY MEDICINE ( Continued from Page 5). About this time appeared a number of works on the manege, and on Natural History, particularly a work by M. de 1a, Guerincera, entitled Ecole de Cavalarie,,and the ce- lebrated Natural History, by the Comte de Button and M* Daubenton; but as these works have little connection with the diseases of animals, which they mention only incident- ally, I shall not here particularize their contents. Contemporary with Bourgelat, and equal to him in celebrity, flourished La Fosse, the elder, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, and farrier to the King of France. He made many discoveries, and intro- duced many valuable improvements in the Art of Farriery, particularly an improved method of shoeing; and a Trea- tise on the Glanders. These were at first communicated in the form of Memoirs to the French Academy, and pub** lished in their journals. They were afterwards collected* in 1754, into one volume, under the title of Observations et Decouv'ertes Fails sur des Chevaux, or Observations and Discoveries on Horses. We shall have occasion, in future parts of this article, to consider the merits of these memoirs, which were well received, and have contributed much to the advancement of Farriery.
