He fays, in the 4th chap, which treats of fevers, 

 that he cannot recover from his amazement, 

 that farriers are fo ignorant in the knowledge of 

 thepulfe-, the following are his words : " A due 

 attention to the pulfe is fo important an ar- 

 ticle, in order to form a proper judgment in 

 fevers, that it would appear am.azing it has 

 *' fo much been negleded, if one did not re- 

 " colled: that the generality of farriers are fo 

 *' egregioufly ignorant that they have no man- 

 " ner of conception of the blood's circulation, 

 *' nor in general have they ability enough to di- 

 " tinguifh the difference between an artery and 

 *' a vein. "With fuch pretty guardians do w^e 

 " intrufl the health of the moft valuable of ani- 

 " mals !" 



I forbear mentioning certain difcoveries, 

 cures and operations, of which Mr. Eartlet gives 

 the account in his book ; which appeared, to me, 

 fo much the more jufl, as they are founded up- 

 on an exadl knowledge of the anatomy of a 

 horfe, till I fhall be able to mention with cer- 

 tainty his method of docking a horfe, and of 

 the defcription of the machine he has invented 

 for performing that operation. 



As I have laid down to myfelf a plan of ne- 

 ver giving any thing to the public but what is 

 certain and confirmed by infallible experiments, 

 I will firfl prove it to myfelf before I communi- 

 cate it.
