MANUEL DE MEDECINE OPERATOIRE VETERINAIRE. 
By A. Degive.* 
We have received the little book of Mr. A. Degive. In 
compiling in sncli a short space, 277 pages, the description of 
the operations performed upon horses, bo.i it, ovine, &c., in fact, 
all the domestic animals, Mr. Degive has certainly performed a 
work which deserves credit, as it must have required on his part 
careful selection of what could be left out and what was essential 
to the arrangement of his book. Of course it is very concise? 
and each subject is treated as briefly as it can be done; with all 
that, though it cannot be compared to the most perfect and com¬ 
plete work of Peuch and Toussaint, the manual will no doubt 
prove for young beginners an excellent assistant in the various 
manipulations of our special surgery. It is divided into two parts. 
The first, being subdivided into ten chapters, is essentially applied 
to the horse ; while in the second part, five chapters treat of the 
surgery of the lower domestic animals.
