Excerpt from Lameness in the Horse: With Coloured Lithographic Plates, Illustrative of the Different Species of Lameness While the frequency of the occurrence of lameness, the consultations professional men are continually receiving concern ing it, coupled with the obscurity in which its seat or nature, or both, are occasionally veiled, stamp its importance in a veterinary point of View, it is a subject in which every man who keeps a horse will take more or less interest, if not before, assuredly from the moment the unwelcome visitor has entered his own stable. And yet, strange as it may appear, with the exception of some three or four excellent works on individual lamenesses, hardly has any department of veterinary science, of late years, received less profound consideration. Feeling this, and feeling at the same time that Ishould be but needlessly augmenting a cata logue I complain of, were I', in the present work, to content myself with superficial and common-place descriptions, I have been in duced to deviate some little from the original plan of my Hippo pathology - in this, the Fourth Volume of it - and introduce, in illustration of my text, coloured (lithographic) plates, re presentative of the seat and nature of the several species of lameness: of the latter, at least, as much as the condition of the parts affected could recently after death he expected to exhibit. The Plates have added 'heavily to the expenses of publication. It is, however, hoped that this increased cost - which has neces sarily augmented the price of the work - will be found compensated for in the advantages the reader will derive from' such illustrations. F aithfulness of representation Ican myself vouch for, while the name of the Artist - Mr. Kearney - by whom the drawings have been made from post-mortem specimens of disease, selected and prepared for the purpose, will, I trust, be a sufficient guarantee for their execution.
