The Field.— '•'■Oi 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. 



"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 experiences to touch upon 

 several maladies of horses in that 

 country, where veterinary' surgeons 

 are few and far between. The des- 

 cription 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 comprehending ; and, for the pur- 

 pose 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 on an emergency when 

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