You AIT'S work, admitted to be the best 

 and most complete practical treatise on 

 the Horse, was originally produced under 

 the superintendence of the Society for the 

 Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and sub- 

 sequently published by Messrs. LONGMANS 

 and Co. by assignment of C. KNIGHT. 

 The edition now advertised was carefully 

 and thoroughly revised by Mr. GABRIEL, 

 and brought up to a level with the state 

 of the veterinary art. Amongst numerous 

 other additions, an account is given of 

 Mr. RAREY'S method of horse-breaking; 

 also a new set of illustrations of the age 

 of the horse as indicated by his teeth. 

 Purchasers should order Messrs. LONG- 

 MAN'S and Co.'s edition of Youatt on the 

 Horse, which, besides the above-mentioned 

 improvements, includes also the Author's 

 latest corrections, &c. added to the second 

 edition. 



'THERE is a freshness and vigour in 

 Mr. GABRIEL'S style which we feel certain 

 will prove acceptable to those who read 

 works on this subject : it is so different 

 from the dry, technical contents of most 

 veterinary works, that the reader is not 

 only instructed and amused, but is im- 

 pressed as he proceeds with sentiments 



of admiration for one of the most useful 

 of God's creatures. YOUATT'S work on the 

 horse is one of those few books which can 

 be read over and over again with delight 

 and interest. To many persons who are 

 owners of horses, it will prove an especial 

 boon : for in its pages will be found much 

 that is instructive and profitable. The 

 treatise on draught will be especially 

 interesting to farmers and contractors; 

 who, by adopting the Author's advice, 

 may effect a considerable saving in horse 

 power. The illustrations rank among the 

 best we have ever seen. There are com- 

 paratively few artists who can draw a 

 life-like portrait of the horse indeed we 

 think it all but impossible for an artist 

 to excel in this particular branch unless 

 he has himself well studied the anatomy 

 and natural history of this noble animal ; 

 but here we have the various breeds, as 

 well as the portraits of very many of our 

 most celebrated thorough-breds, rendered 

 with a fidelity as striking as it is in- 

 structive and beautiful. The work we 

 unhesitatingly pronounce one of the best 

 and most comprehensive we have ever 

 read on the subject of the horse.'
