Stable Economy, a treatise on the management of Horses in relation to Stab! ng, Groom' 

 ing. Feeding, Watcrmg and Working. By John Stewart, Veterinary Surgeon, author 

 of "advice to purchasers of horses," and lately Professor of Veterinary medicine in the 

 Andersonian University, Olasgow. New- York, D. Appleton, & Co. Philadelphia, 

 G. S. Appleton. 



This work was received too late for us to give it a perusal, but 

 the name of A. B. Allen, editor of the American Agriculturist, 

 who has prefaced it and adapted it to the wants of this country, 

 will be sufficient recommendation of it to all who are interested in 

 I Ae use of that noble animal, the horse. In preparing it, Mr. Al- 

 len states that he has taken the liberty to correct many errors of 

 the author, and in some instances to suppress " whole pages, all of 

 which were either quite erroneous In matters of fact, or totally in- 

 applicable to this country." We like this. Too much of import- 

 ed knowledge is often unhesitatingly adopted in this country, and 

 thus great mistakes committed.
