Book Description

Excerpt from Plain Treatise on Horse-Shoeing: With Illustrations It has been suggested to me, by several correspondents, that a plain, practical treatise on HorseShoeing, divested of all other matters, connected with the soundness of the horses foot, would be very acceptable to many working smiths, who have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through a work where what they want to find is mixed up with other matters, which do not bear upon their vocation. To the production of such a treatise I now set myself, in the hope that, however much I may fall short of my wishes, I may still in some degree supply a want which has long been felt by many.
