The Teeth of the Ox, as indicative of Age. An 
Explanation of the Signs afforded by the Incisor Teeth 
during Temporary and Permanent Dentition. By Geo. 
Brown, Professor of Veterinary Surgery in the Royal 
Agricultural College. London; Adams, and Co. 1854. 
Pamphlet, 8vo, pp. 29, with cuts. 
This is a small unpretending work, composed for the use 
of the farming public, it having, as the author himself says, 
in his “ Preface,” “ no pretensions to the scientific,” and as 
such it seems to have been a desidzratuyn with the agricultural 
world , though, after all, popular works, i. e. 9 (i useful know- 
ledge ” ones, are all doomed to but a short run in the 
book world, in the course of time to be superseded by works 
of science and sure foundation in their several departments. 
The age is fast improving : men, though they do not quite 
comprehend them, will still buy the most scientific works in 
preference to superficial ones ; even farmers prefer having 
4 Liebig’s Chemistry, and £ Brande’s Dictionary,’ to the trashy 
compositions, such as £ Every Man his own Grazier and 
Cattle Doctor,’ &c. &c.
