THE ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF TH.E IIOBSE. 
It is not our intention to go deeply to. anatomy of 
the horse, as this would far exceed .he limits of such a 
work as the present, and indeed ould m t he suitable for 
a popular treatise. We shall therefore confine o ’selves 
to such an outline of his structure as will convey a pretty 
general idea of what is truly useful to possessors oi a orses 
in general. 
We may briefly state, that the bones of the skeleton nd 
the muscles which cover them are all double, if we except 
a very few bones which lock the two halves together ; nd 
that if an animal is divided correctly into two halves. se 
will be found exactly similar in the number of l o; , and 
the muscles with which they are covered Bat, this de vf

a few of its parts are also double.
