Excerpt from The Illustrated Horse Doctor: Being an Accurate and Detailed Account of the Various Diseases to Which the Equine Race Are Subjected; Together With the Latest Mode of Treatment, and All the Requisite Prescriptions; Written in Plain English; Accompanied by More Than Four Hundred Pictori The publishers of the present work have long been impressed with the idea that a new book upon the Diseases of the Horse, written in simple language, and specially designed as a guide for non-professional readers, had grown to be a public necessity. While waiting for an opportunity to carry this notion into effect, they were fortunate enough to become acquainted with a gentleman whose proficiency in veterinary science is undisputed. To that individual the present work was intrusted; and it was nearly completed when the publishers heard with surprise that Mr. Mayhew employed the pencil in a manner only secondary to his use of the pen. Acting on this information, the publishers were induced to persuade the author to illustrate his text by drawings descriptive of the various stages and aspects of disease. The addition of above four hundred wood engravings has, of course, materially increased the expense of publication. A heavy outlay has been incurred, while, at the same time, the spirit of the age is decidedly against paying a large sum for any work of general information. These circumstances render the present volume doubly hazardous. However, it is confidently hoped that, when the accuracy of the illustrations and the perspicuity of the letter-press are appreciated, a large sale will more than recompense any amount of outlay.
