The publishers have received numerous flattering notices of the great practical value of these works. The distinguished editor of the American Farmer, speaking of them, observes:--"We cannot too highly recommend these books, and therefore advise every owner of a horse to obtain them."
"There are receipts in those books that show how _Founder_ may be cured, and the traveller pursue his journey the next day, by giving a _tablespoon of alum_. This was got from Dr. P. Thornton, of Montpelier, Rappahannock county, Virginia, as founded on his own observation in several cases."
"The constant demand for Mason"s and Hinds"s Farrier has induced the publishers, Messrs. Lippincott, Grambo & Co., to put forth new editions, with a "Supplement" of 100 pages by J.S. Skinner, Esq. We should have sought to render an acceptable service to our agricultural readers, by giving a chapter from the Supplement, "On the Relations between Man and the Domestic Animals, especially the Horse, and the Obligations they impose;"
or the one on "The Form of Animals;" but that either one of them would overrun the s.p.a.ce here allotted to such subjects."
"Lists of Medicines, and other articles which ought to be at hand about every training and livery stable, and every Farmer"s and Breeder"s establishment, will be found in these valuable works."
