To him succeeded Osmcr, who was likewise bred a 

 surgeon, but practiced the Veterinary art in Oxford 

 street, London. Mr. Clarke, of Edinburgh, the King's 

 Carrier for Scotland, soon after this gave the world his 

 excellent treatise on shoeing and diseases of the feet. 

 Nearly the same time, the public were indebted to Lord 

 Pembroke for his work, which, thougli professedly 

 written on the management of Dragoon horses, contains 

 some excellent observations on shoeing, and the general 

 treatment of the animal.

 of physic, advertised his intention of practising Farriery, 

 and as a previous step to it, published a treatise on the 

 strangles and fevers of horses. 



In 1796, appeared a very elegant work, in quarto, the 

 production of S. "Freeman, Esquire, a gentleman of

 taining extracts from M. St. Bel, Osmer, Clark, and 

 Lord Pembroke. 



In 1800, Mr. Morecroft published a small pamphlet, 

 entitled, '^A cursory account of the various methods of 

 shoeing horses," with incidental observations. 



In 1801, Mr. White published a very good work on 

 Farriery, called "A compendium of the Yeterinary art." 

 The year 1801, likewise, produced a Avork of consider- 

 able elegance from the pen of Mr. Eichard Laurence, 

 of Birmingham, Yeterinary Surgeon. 



In 180:5, appeared in a large volume, quarto, Mr. 

 John Feron, Yeterinary Surgeon to the 1 3th Dragoons. 



1805, if size constituted merit, this year would have 

 been a memorable one for bringing forth a volumuious 

 production in the form of a Yeterinary Directory, from 

 the pen of Mr. Thomas Boardman, Yeterinary Surgeon to 

 the Old llogiment of ])ragoons. 



In 1806, xMr. Francis Clater, a (chemist and druggist, 

 published an octavo volume, entitled, " Eveiy man his 

 own Farrier." It consisted of old Jargon, a little 

 leavened with the new.
