YOUATT ON THE HORSE, EDITED BY GABRIEL.

Revised Edition, in 1 vol. 8vo. price 10s. 6d. cloth,

THE HORSE,

INCLUDING A TREATISE ON DRAUGHT.

BY WILLIAM YOUATT.

With numerous Woodcut Illustrations chiefly from Designs
by W. Harvey.

REVISED AND ENLARGED BY E. N. GABRIEL, M.R.C.S. C.V.S.

SECRETARY TO ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS.

YOUATT'S work, admitted to be the best and most complete practical treatise on the Horse, was originally produced under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and subsequently published by Messrs. LONGMANS and Co. by assignment of C. KNIGHT. The edition now advertised was carefully and thoroughly revised by Mr. GABRIEL, and brought up to a level with the state of the veterinary art. Amongst numerous other additions, an account is given of Mr. RAREY's method of horse-breaking; also a new set of illustrations of the age of the horse as indicated by his teeth. Purchasers should order Messrs. LONGMAN'S and Co.'s edition of Youatt on the Horse, which, besides the above-mentioned improvements, includes also the Author's latest corrections, &c. added to the second edition.

"THERE is a freshness and vigour in Mr. GABRIEL's style which we feel certain will prove acceptable to those who read works on this subject: it is so different from the dry, technical contents of most veterinary works, that the reader is not only instructed and amused, but is impressed as he proceeds with sentiments

The

of admiration for one of the most useful of God's creatures. YOUATT's work on the horse is one of those few books which can be read over and over again with delight and interest. To many persons who are owners of horses, it will prove an especial boon for in its pages will be found much that is instructive and profitable. treatise on draught will be especially interesting to farmers and contractors; who, by adopting the Author's advice, may effect a considerable saving in horse power. The illustrations rank among the best we have ever seen. There are comparatively few artists who can draw a life-like portrait of the horse-indeed we think it all but impossible for an artist to excel in this particular branch unless he has himself well studied the anatomy and natural history of this noble animal; but here we have the various breeds, as well as the portraits of very many of our most celebrated thorough-breds, rendered with a fidelity as striking as it is instructive and beautiful. The work we unhesitatingly pronounce one of the best and most comprehensive we have ever read on the subject of the horse.' SPORTING LIFE.

His Diseases and their Treatment; with an Essay on Parturition in the Cow. By J. R. DOBSON, Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. With 2 Plates (1 coloured) and 52 Woodcuts.

"THE present volume contains the most modern and approved methods of cure, expressed in simple language, unfettered as much as possible with technical terms, which renders it the more acceptable to the general reader.'

MARK LANE EXPRESS.

'A very explicit and well illustrated book of veterinary treatment-particularly explicit and well illustrated in its dicussion of the ordinary and ordinary difficulties of parturition, but trustworthy and elaborate everywhere.'

GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.

"THE Author has furnished a work instructive to his professional brethren, full of practical advice to farmers, graziers, and dairymen, and not deficient in entertaining information to gratify the curiosity of the reading public. The numerous and well executed engravings illustrate his subjects more clearly, and will enable

the uninitiated to comprehend distinctly points of which their notions would otherwise have been obscure. . . . The volume concludes with a useful APPENDIX, being a pharmacopoeia of the medicines required for veterinary purposes, and the modes of preparing and using them.'

MORNING POST.

'THIS work, although copious in its explanations of the diseases treated on, and their mode of cure, is by no means abstruse or technical. The Author's explanations are, so far as compatible with a technical subject, plain and popular. The farmer and stock-keeper, for whom the work is especially intended and adapted, will have no trouble in following Mr. DOBSON through his descriptive matter, as well as his directions, diagnoses, and prescriptions. . . . The veterinary practitioner, or the cow-leech who has not read Mr. DOBSON's book, has much to learn in his profession.' MORNING ADVERTISER.
