4 INTRODUCTION. 



lqv full and complete system of telling the Horse's age, from the 

 time of foaling up to the age of twenty-one years — a system that 

 has given general satisfaction to the horse-men of the day — 

 together with a complete description, in plain language, of the 

 symptoms of the diseases of the Horse and the most modern and 

 specific remedies for their treatment. An elaborate essay on 

 horse-shoeing, that drew the first prize before the Scottish 

 Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, will be added 

 to my work. For the benefit and interest of dog-fanciers, I will 

 give a chapter on the diseases, training and education of the 

 Dog. The author is still canvassing the entire country in intro- 

 ducing his new system of training the horse, and, at the same 

 time, guarding against impairing their physical structure, or 

 shortening their period of usefulness and profit. Should I suc- 

 ceed in this, I feel that I shall be a benefactor, and thereby 

 secure my highest aim.]
