The object of this 'Veterinary Manual' aims at supplying the intelligent horse owner with a thoroughly reliable book upon the general management of the horse in health, and its treatment when suffering from accident or labouring under disease.
Every care possible has been taken to make the work 'practical' in its teaching with an avoidance of technical terms, without sacrificing facts of importance.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
'The teaching of this book is up-to-date in its character, and it will certainly prove a boon to the farmer or owner when he happens to reside far from veterinary advice, and may require to act in an emergency.'—Glasgow Herald.
'After careful perusal we consider the book sound in its essential facts and certainly much preferable to the older manuals.'—Veterinarian.
'There is no doubt that the horse owner will find the manual very useful.'—Field.
'It is a manual which deserves a hearty welcome from those for whose use it has been designed, for it is a workmanlike, handy and comprehensive book.'—Scotsman.
'Mr Barton has written a book which will be of use to not a few people. The book takes rather a wider scope than most books of this class, as the author has written not only for horse owners but for veterinary students also. By no means the least useful chapter in the book is that on shoes and shoeing, and it is only just to the author to say that he gives more particulars than can be found in any one work with which we are acquainted.'—Saturday Review.
