Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Every Horse Owner´s Cyclopedia We believe it may be asserted, without fear of contradiction, that no book has yet been published, in the English or any other language, which even professes to give a complete description of the Natural History, Physiology, Pathology, and General Management of the Horse, in a form and style suited to the country gentleman of the nineteenth century. It is true, that some of these departments are adequately described in separate works; but they are generally written in technical language, suited rather to the Veterinary Student than for the use and comprehension of the ordinary reader. The writings of Percivall in England, and of Girard, Chauveau, and Colin in France, contain full and accurate details of the Anatomy and Physiology of this animal; while the Structure and Diseases of his Foot have been the subjects of various elaborate treatises by Bracy Clark, Spooner, Coleman, and Turner, in this country. But in order to reach the information which he requires, the reader has to wade through many long and wearisome chapters, wholly irrelevant to the practical subjects in which he is interested, and he therefore gives up the study in disgust as a hopeless task. So, also, in reference to the general diseases of the horse, Percivall´s "Hippopathology" is a mine of information; but it is so elaborate, and so diffuse in style, that it is consequently never or rarely seen on the library shelves of the private gentleman. Stable management was well described by Stewart, of Edinburgh, five-and-twenty years ago, and his work still continues to be the best manual on this particular subject; but since it was written many great changes have been introduced into general use, and it is therefore now somewhat behind the times. For these reasons the author of this work has thought that a book, combining all the above subjects, treated in a practical manner, and in a style popularly intelligible, yet containing the most recent views of eminent authorities in veterinary knowledge, would supply a deficiency which has long been complained of by all who are interested in the proper management of the horse.
