JURisPRUDE'jCE Veterinaire (Veterinary Jurisprudence). By A. Coutt. 
This is a part of the Cadeac Encyclopoedia, published by the 
house of J. B. Bailliere, forming an interesting volume of nearly 
600 pages, in which this important branch of veterinary medi¬ 
cine is treated as it is applied to French legislation. The book 
is divided into four parts and each one of those into a number 
of chapters, where the subjects of sale, warranty, legal proceed¬ 
ings and expertise are fully treated. The last chapter of the 
fourth part, which treats principally of the diseases which are 
made by law inhibitory, is particularly interesting. The law 
which regulates what may constitute a breach of warranty 
sufficient to break off a sale made under the pretence of absence 
of any of the inhibitory vices is presented to the reader in 
such a manner that the duties of the veterinarian can be readily 
understood. To those who are by their professional calling re¬ 
quired to be thoroughly posted on the subject of veterinary 
jurisprudence, the book will prove of great value.
