PREFACE. WE believe it may be asserted, without fear of contrdiction, that no book has yet been published, in the English or my other language, which even professes to give a complete description of the Natural History, Physiology, Pathology, and General filanngement of, the liorso, in a form and dyle suited to the country gentleman of the nineteenth century. It is true, that some of these departments are adaquately described in seperate works but they are genernlly written in technical language, suited rather to the Veterirlary Student than for the use and cornprehonsion of the ordinary render.
