Quid sit pulchrum, quid turpe, quid utile, quid non. — H or. 
Hippopathology . — Yol. I, Second Edition. 
Yol. II, Part II ; New Edition. 
By W. Percivall, M.R.C.S., and late Yeterinary Surgeon 
to the First Life Guards. 
We did not notice these works at the time they were 
announced as being published, from a conviction that every 
one to whom the titles are familiar would hasten to possess 
himself of them. 
The name of Percivall will ever be held in the highest 
estimation by the members of our profession, as well as by 
every true lover of the horse. His literary labours were great, 
and they manifest much industry and observation. They 
are equally as varied, and show that his mind was always 
intent on promoting the onward progress of Veterinary 
Science ; while his educational acquirements gave to his 
productions a tone that will ever stamp them as worthy a 
place in the library of every scientific and professional man. 
It is not our intention, nor is there the least occasion for 
it, to compare the present with the antecedent volumes. It 
will be quite sufficient to say that the matter thereof has been 
most carefully revised, and such added as brings the subject 
up to a level with the state of veterinary science at the 
present day. 
The grave has now closed over the mortal remains of our 
author ; but that which he has left behind will not only be a 
treasured and valuable legacy to his family, but will extend 
his fame down to generations yet to come.
