ERA.--"We advisedly say that 'The Illustrated Horse Doctor' is the very
best book of the kind which we know; and what gives it an especial charm
is, that the author so thoroughly sympathises with the noble animal which
he describes. Without pretending to go into any analysis of this valuable
work, we at once pronounce it as scientific, yet intelligible; informing,
yet highly amusing; acceptable to the profound horse-doctor, yet the work
of all others for the bookshelves in every gentleman's sanctum."
ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE.--"Mr. Mayhew's volume will, we imagine, meet with
a hearty welcome. It is just such a good practical work on the Veterinary
Art as most of us horse-using (and not unfrequently, we fear, abusing)
Englishmen have long felt the need of.--We must not conclude our remarks
without commenting on the numerous wood-cuts with which the volume is
embellished. It is truly, as it professes to be, an '_Illustrated Horse
Doctor_.'"
ILLUSTRATED TIMES.--"Many years ago the writer of these lines was
incidentally 'read up' in horse literature, and a good deal in the way
of sporting people. His reading and observation in that way have been
very pleasantly recalled by this _model_ book. We need not waste words
about this admirable volume--manual, we were going to say, but it is
more of an armful than a handful. It is quite beyond praise of ours in
its completeness and general excellence, concerned as it is our lot to
be with the study instead of the steed. But we showed it to a friend of
ours (living at Horsely-down), who spends his mornings at Tattersall's
and his afternoons at the Alhambra, and his evenings at Astley's, and
his criticism was conveyed in these emphatic words. 'Sir,' said he (his
name is Ryder), 'it is the Buchan's Domestic Medicine of the stable; the
mantle of Bucephalus has fallen upon Mr. Mayhew.' Every way the work is
interesting, and it is beautifully got up; the paper and print being the
best we have seen for some time."
