Stable Economy: a Treatise on the Management of Horses in 
relation to Stabling, Grooming, Feeding, Watering, and 
Working. By Johjs Stewart, Veterinary Surgeon, and 
Professor of Veterinary Medicine in the Andersonian Univer¬ 
sity, Glasgow. 
He who would discharge his duty to his employer, in the 
medical treatment of the horses committed to his care, should be 
perfectly master of the minutest particular relating to these five 
grand essentials—the stabling, grooming, feeding, watering, and 
working. He should be well grounded in the general principles 
of each, and in the necessary variations in the actual practice of 
them, according to the kind of horse, the work, and the degree 
of health and disease. He should be capable of detecting, at a 
glance, the slightest deviation from the proper management of 
the animal, or the general establishment. 
Where shall the young veterinarian obtain this knowledge? 
Possibly from the instructions and practice of his father, or from 
his beins: accustomed to the manaoement of horses from his 
early youth : certainly not from any hygeian lectures, if we may 
so term them, which he will receive in our recognized schools of 
veterinary instruction. 
The student and the practitioner will be under great obligation 
to Professor Stewart for taking up so humble and disregarded, 
but all-important a branch of veterinary science. He brings with 
him a perfect acquaintance with his subject. His style is sim¬ 
ple, but peculiarly terse and forcible. There is no misunderstand¬ 
ing what he means to inculcate, and no power of resisting the 
impression of its truth and importance. 
We shall return to the review of this useful work at a future 
opportunity—our object is now to announce it; and the announce-
