XU INTRODUCTION 



press in this country, in which the Veterinary Science, or 

 Art of Farriery, has been laid down in such a manner 

 as to be clearly understood; the present work is so familiar 

 in its composition, as to render it at once interesting and 

 intelligible to every one who may think proper to peruse 

 it. 



To such persons who are removed at a distance from those 

 places where the assistance of a farrier can be had, in cases 

 of emergency this work must prove highly useful, as such 

 rules for the discovery of disease, and such a plan of treat- 

 ment is recommended, as, if judiciously followed, will res- 

 cue from the danger of blind experiment, the noblest and 

 nciost valuable quadruped in creation.
