iy PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



nary advance in the science of medicine even since the 

 date of publication of the first edition. 



In addition to the usual corrections, revisions, etc., a 

 glossary of terms in common use by dog fanciers has 

 been introduced. 



An effort has been made to maintain the reputation 

 the work has won on account of the high character and 

 abundance of its illustrations, by a few substitutions of 

 more modern specimens and the addition of several full- 

 page cuts of breeds of dogs not illustrated in the first edi- 

 tion. For the originals of these the author is indebted to 

 several persons who kindly allowed the use of cuts for the 

 first edition, and also to Mr. James L. Little, of Brook- 

 line, Mass. ; Mr. H. B. Donovan, editor of the Canadian 

 Kennel Gazette, Toronto; Mr. L. A. Klein, of Black 

 Lake; Mr. MacHaffie, of Cornwall, and others. 



The index has also been rendered more complete, so 

 that it is believed that the work will be found thor- 

 oughly accurate and up to date in all respects. 



The author is led to hope that the book will be 

 found worthy of the confidence of the general reader 

 and of students and practitioners of veterinary medicine 

 in the future as it has in the past.
