BY FRANCIS CLATER,

Farrier, Cattle Doctor, and Druggist, at Retford.

In one handsome Volume, 8vo. 9s. extra boards. The extraordinary Demand for this celebrated Publication, is the surest Criterion of its real Utility. The true Descrip tion of every Disorder, and the invaluable Recipes for their Cure; the Method of preparing and compounding the various Medicines, and the Useful Remarks on applying them, have been tried, approved, and met with unexampled Success throughout the United Kingdom.

"We have examined Mr. Glater's Book on Farriery with care, and cannot doubt his good intention of producing a book, drawn from minute observations and long practice, giving in plain easy terms (or words) a description of the manner a horse is afflicted, with a recipe for the cure of most of the disorders he is incident to. The Appendix, containing preparations of his medicines, methods of applying them, &c. we think is valuable; in fact, we are gratified in being able, with confidence, to recommend the work as a present to Grooms, Ostlers, &c."

From the British Critic, March, 1813.

"We cannot conjecture by what accident this Work has been so flong unnoticed by us; but it certainly deserved very early attention. We do not hesitate to recommend it strongly to the attention of all persons, who are especially interested in such subjects.

From Dickson's Agricultural Magazine, May and June, 1810. "We give it as our deliberate opinion, that Mr. Clater has rendered an essential service to all who are in any degree concerned in cattle, by the publication of the present work, which is one of the very few that we can unequivocally recommend to the Agricultural and Grazing Interest, as deserving their attention, and fulfilling the objects announced in the title of this handsomely printed volume."

ART OF ANGLING.

CHAP. I.

A Description of Fishes, according to Natural History, with the best methods of Breeding, Feeding, &c.

MANY assert that fishes have not that part called the meatus auditorius, and are quite deaf. Others are quite of a contrary opinion. However by the first proposition of the second book of Newton's Principia, it is proved that water is a non-conductor of sound; if so, why should animals be provided with organs of hearing, when they live in a medium where sounds cannot be heard?

Fishes in natural history are animals that live in the water, as their proper place of abode. Naturalists observe a world of wisdom and design in the structure of fishes, and their conformation to the element they reside in.

Their bodies are cloathed and guarded in the best manner, with scales or shells, suitable to their respective circumstances, the dangers they are exposed to, and the motion and business they are to perform.
