The Field. — "Of the many popular veterinary books which have come 

 under our notice, this is certainly one of the most scientific and reliable. 

 The author tells us, in the preface to the first edition, that any merit which 

 the book may possess is to be ascribed to the teaching of the Principal and 

 Professors of the New Veterinary College at Edinburgh, where he studied. 

 It is much to be desired that every student would make so much use of his 

 opportunities as Capt. Hayes has done. 



"It may be noted that the writer deprecates amateur veterinary practice 

 when professional aid can be procured ; but he rightly believes that a 

 horse-owner may at times find himself with a sick horse on his hands and 

 no qualified person near from whom advice may be obtained. It is most 

 probable that the amateur who knows most of the subject of veterinary 

 pathology will be most reluctant to interfere, unless he is compelled by 

 circumstances to act in place of the professional man. 



" Some notice is accorded to nearly all the diseases which are common 

 to horses in this country, and the writer takes advantage of his Indian 

 experience to touch upon several maladies of horses in that country, where 

 veterinary surgeons are few and far between. The description of symptoms 

 and the directions for the application of remedies, are given in perfectly 

 plain terms, which the tyro will find no difficulty in comprehending ; and, 

 for the purpose of further smoothing his path, a chapter is given on 

 veterinary medicines, their actions, uses, and doses. This information 

 will be most acceptable to the majority of horse-owners, and mav be 

 invaluable on an emergency when no advice better than that of the village 

 cow doctor can be obtained. 



"If some painstaking student would give us works of equal merit to 

 this, on the diseases of the other domestic animals, we should possess 

 a very complete veterinary library in a very small compass."
