REVIEWS OF FORMER EDITIONS. 



Saturday Review.— "The work is written in a clear and practical way." 

 The Pield.—" Of the many popular veterinary books which have come under our 

 notice, this is certainly one of the most scientific and rehable. 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 Prin- 

 cipal and Professors of the New Veteri- 

 nary College at Edinburgh, where he 

 studied. It is much to be desired that 

 every student would make as much vise 

 of his opportunities as Capt. Hayes has 

 done. 



' ' 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 sur- 

 geons are few and far between. The 

 description of symptoms and the direc- 

 tions for the application of remedies are 

 given in perfectly plain terms, which the 

 tyro will find no difficulty in compre- 

 hending ; 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 may be invaluable in an emer- 

 gency when no advice better than that of the village cow doctor can be obtained."
