The horse's mouth, showing the age by the teeth

Horses -- Age
In principle it is similar to the one which preceded it, but the handle
being at the side instead of above, it can be adapted to those
irregularities which the former would not readily catch. The operator
can move it about at his pleasure, and where nicety is required, he can,
with it, take off particles, such as the previous instruments would not
enable him to touch. It consists of a cutting edge, guarded on one side
by the handle, and on the other by a rounded projection. In the manner
of its application, it is similar to the last, and like that is held by
an assistant when used in operation. For many points this is of much
service, but in order to be prepared for every difficulty, a pair of
them suited to the opposite sides are required. Possessed of these the
veterinary surgeon has, for the first time, what may be regarded as a
complete set of dental instruments, with which he can operate, with ease
to himself, and without hazard to his patient. The mouth rasp is all
that he requires, in addition to what has been depicted; and thus armed,
he can overcome obstacles which once bid defiance to his skill.

=Plate I.--THE MEET.=
"Delightful scene!
Where all around is gay--men, horses, dogs,
And in each smiling countenance appears
Fresh blooming health and universal joy."
"Then to the copse,
Thick with entangling grass or prickly furze,
With silence lead thy many-coloured hounds
In all their beauty's pride."--SOMERVILE.
=Plate II.--THE FIND.=
"Hark! what loud shouts
Re-echo thro' the groves: he breaks away;
Shrill horns proclaim his flight; each straggling hound
Strains o'er the lawn to reach the distant pack.
'Tis triumph all and joy."
"Hark! on the drag I hear
Their doubtful notes preluding to a cry;
More nobly full, and swell'd with every mouth."--SOMERVILE.
=Plate III.--THE RUN.=
"The riders bend
O'er their arch'd necks; with steady hands, by turns
Indulge their speed, or moderate their rage."
"Happy the man who with unrivall'd speed
Can pass his fellows, and with pleasure view
The struggling pack."--SOMERVILE.
=Plate IV.--THE KILL.=
"The pack inquisitive, with clamour loud,
Drag out their trembling prize; and on his blood
With greedy transport feast."
"A chosen few
Alone the sport enjoy, nor droop beneath
Their pleasing toils."--SOMERVILE.
