the proper rite a fur es for communicating ^ to the puh- 

 lic^ thofe ufeful hints that appeared in it upon the 

 moft important points of farriery ; being additional 

 difcoveries to what has already been ever made in 

 any country. 



This author then has given the anatomy of a 

 horfe's foot^ and in the moft clear manner laid 

 down the different degrees of punEiures a horfe is 

 liable to^ and their different confequences^ which he 

 has carefully demonflrated by proper reprefentations 

 in copper plates^ as well as amply provided for in 

 the method of cure^ as far as human fkill and pe- 

 netration can go ; and in the whole^ it appears 

 that he is very well verfed in the anatomical di- 

 ftribution of the parts of a horfe^ or has been 

 affified by fame able anatomijl -, and from his ob- 

 fervations on the parts ^ he has found that farriers 

 were perpetually rowelling^ cauterifing^ and apply- 

 ing topical medicines to parts of horfes that had no 

 ailment^ by their ignorance of fuch as were the 

 nal feats of their diforders. 



Another important dfcovery of this author is 

 his pointing out the true feat of the glanders^ which 

 has always been thought a difeafe of the lungs ; 

 Mr, Bartlet^ one of our Englifh authors has ap* 

 proved and adopted his do5irine^ and has added 

 feme judicious remarks of his own upon it ; by 

 whicb he merits the thanks of his countrymen in 

 general.
