This word has been the constant friend 

 and frequent resource of all country farriers, 

 and may, with great truth, be termed '' The 

 *r Farrier's Vade Mecum,'* abridged to a word

 tion appears, indicating an acrimonious state 

 of the blood, or degeneracy of habit, it is

 almost incredible penetration) confidently

 surfeit .iH\ unless, as Captain h Brush,^ in the 

 Register Office, defines chaos to be '*~ a sort 

 *' of— , a kind of 'd— -chaos-,'' the}^ silently 

 acknowledge they cannot telL And what 

 makes it more unfortunate for them is, that
