Book Description

Excerpt from The Surgical Anatomy of the Horse Owing to the greater surgical importance of the limbs in veterinary practice, consecutive treatment has been dealt with a little more fully in this volume than in Part I., otherwise precisely similar lines have been followed. To the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool the author desires again to express his gratitude for the ever-ready advice and kindly help, of which it has been the author's good fortune to avail himself. The onerous task of revising and correcting the proofs has been kindly undertaken by the author's friend and former colleague. Professor Macqueen, many of whose views upon matters appertaining to the purely surgical part of the work have been adopted. Although these have been frequently acknowledged throughout this volume and were referred to in the General Preface to Part I., the author feels it his duty to make reference to them here, for to have had the collaboration of one with the ripe experience of Professor Macqueen cannot fail to add materially to the practical value of the work. The kind reception accorded the first volume by the majority of the critics and by practitioners generally in this country, and especially by his fellow veterinarians in France and America has been most gratifying to the author, and has convinced him that his opinion of the necessity which existed for a work of the kind, as expressed in the Preface to Part I., was well founded.
