critic does not tell the whole truth in some particulars, and mis¬

skeletons (ones in which the bones are held together by their 
natural ligaments) of the horse, cow, sheep and hog; one horse

prudent and best to dispose of it before the Fair was over.) 
There were also one hundred and twenty sketches of dissected 
sections of the horse, some done in oil, but most of them in
