BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
Works of this nature are not common in English literature, 
and when one is offered presenting, as “Advanced Agriculture” 
does, material of interest for veterinarians, it must be received 
by them with pleasure and . read with interest. The days are 
fast going away when, especially in America, the education of 
veterinary students was satisfied to have in the curriculum of his 
alma mater merely lectures on the various principal branches of 
veterinary medicine. They now look for something else ; they 
began to appreciate the link which united them to agricultural 
knowledge, and if they do not expect to obtain it as extensively 
as the students of agricultural colleges do, they need some of it. 
Their education of veterinarians obliges them to know some¬ 
thing of the general principles of agriculture. 
Truly it is, perhaps, more to the students of agricultural col¬ 
leges that the book of Dr. Webb is intended for, but part first, 
on “Agricultural Science” proper, and certainly part second, on 
“Agricultural Practice,” present to the veterinarians subjects of 
great interest. 
In this last part, Chapter vii, treats of live stock ; it gives 
the breeds of horses, of cattle, of sheep, of swine, and even of 
poultry and fowls, etc.; the management of these animals ; some 
interesting points in relation to their breeding, general cares, 
etc., all of which, occupying some 200 pages of the book, are 
presented to the reader in a manner which cannot but prove 
most beneficial. 
The rapid examination that we have made of “Advanced 
Agriculture,” reminds us very much of similar works on the same 
subjects, which we have read in French, such as the works of 
Magne and of Sanson. 
We can well commend it to those who are interested on the 
subject and certainly to the veterinarians.
