treatise, which must soon become a classic and a standard in the 
literature and the institutions of veterinary education. It occu¬ 
pies some eight hundred pages, and is divided into two principal 
sections, treating in the first, of the Theory, and in the second, 
* of the Practice of Medicine. The second part is again sub-divi¬ 
ded, and treats severally, of General and Local Diseases. In the 
department of General Diseases are included not only the idio¬ 
pathic fevers, but the contagious diseases, while the second, em 
braced in seventy-four chapters, comprehends all the other dis¬ 
eases as they affect the various functional apparatuses and the re¬ 
gional pathology of the general organism. 
The work is written in a clear and comprehensive style, and 
must not only prove one of great interest and value to the veteri¬ 
nary student, but a material aid to the busy practitioner, as well, 
who cannot fail fully to appreciate the results of the difficult task 
so ably performed by the author of Equine Pathology. 
It is long since so important a contribution has been made to 
the catalogue of veterinary literature. 
HORSE’S TEETH. (Second Edition.) 
By W. H. Clarke. 
This little book (of nearly 300 pages) is a revised edition of 
a former publication, and is a great improvement upon the first 
essay of the author. It contains, iu the first part, a variety of 
collated facts relating to the anatomy, histology and natural 
development of the organs referred to, and reports a number of 
illustrative cases respecting the surgery of the dental apparatus, 
most of which are compiled from European writers. The ques¬ 
tion of the age of the animal as determined by an inspection of 
the teeth is treated too superficially to be of any great benefit, 
and the plates which are to serve as guides are unworthy of the 
first part of the book. On the whole, however, Mr. W. H. 
Clarke is entitled to a degree of credit for the labor he must 
have assumed in gathering the material composing “ Horse’s 
Teeth.”
