CRITICAL NOTICES.
FIELD, _July_ 28, 1863.--"The book contains nearly 600 pages of valuable
matter, which reflects great credit on its author, and, owing to its
practical details, the result of deep scientific research, deserves
a place in the library of medical, veterinary, and non-professional
readers."
ATHENÆUM, _August_ 4, 1860.--"Mr. Mayhew has written several works on
the diseases, with details of the anatomy, of animals. His accuracy is
great. The chapters are well arranged. Each speaks of the diseases of one
part of the equine frame. The illustrations to these are excellent. The
operations are accurately described; not the slightest useful hint is
forgotten; while to render this portion more intelligible, diagrams of
the parts to be operated on, with views of the instruments, are generally
given; and the prescriptions, as stated in the title-page, are made out
in English. The causes, symptoms, and treatment of diseases are briefly
recorded in a summary, forming an appendix. We conclude by commending Mr.
Mayhew's book, especially to every possessor of the most useful of the
'servants of man.'"
ILLUSTRATED NEWS.--"The great mass of the illustrations are wonderfully
faithful, and they are so varied and interesting that we would undertake
to get rid of the most confirmed bore that ever pressed heavily on
mankind for a good two hours by only handing him the book, and directing
his attention to them. It is a well-known fact that grooms only remember
the names of four or five diseases, and are sadly indiscriminate in
their knowledge of symptoms. This book furnishes at once the bane and
the antidote, as the drawings show the horse not only suffering from
every kind of disease, but in the different stages of it, while the
alphabetical summary at the end gives the cause, symptoms, and treatment
of each."
GLOBE.--"Every gentleman who possesses or cares for horses, would do well
to keep this book in his house."
