Description
Excerpt from The Anatomy and Physiology of the Horse: With Anatomical and Questional Illustrations; Containing, Also, a Series of Examinations on Equine Anatomy and Physiology, With Instructions in Reference to Dissection, and the Mode of Making Anatomical Preparations
American veterinary literature has hitherto possessed no work devoted to the anatomy and physiology of the Horse; consequently such subjects are either discussed theoretically and imperfectly, or else fail to be noticed. But a new era is now dawning upon Veterinary Science; a Spirit of inquiry is abroad; and the people of this Republic find themselves in possession of some of the most magnificent specimens of live stock to be found in the world. The natural inquiry is, How Shall we protect our property? And the conclusion arrived at is, Veterinary science offers the only probable and practicable security against the numerous casualties incidental to the habitats of the barn and stable.
Hitherto, much indifference has been manifested regarding this science, in consequence of the difficulty encountered in its study, for want of proper text-books and teachers; and its unsatisfactory results when tested by men unacquainted with its fundamental principles. The well-known works of English and French authors furnish all the necessary information, yet their cost is beyond the means of many, and, therefore, their circulation is very limited.
