A COMPANION TO THE ILLUSTRATED HORSE MANAGEMENT.

THE ILLUSTRATED HORSE DOCTOR:

Being an Accurate and Detailed Account, accompanied by more than 400 Pictorial Representations characteristic of the various Diseases to which the Equine Race are subjected; together with the Latest Mode of Treatment, and all the Requisite Prescriptions, written in Plain English. By Edward Mayhew, M.R.C.V.S., Author of several works on Veterinary Art. One vol. 8vo. Uniform with “The Illustrated Horse Management.”

CRITICAL REMARKS FROM ENGLISH JOURNALS.

“A BOOK WHICH SHOULD BE IN THE POSSESSION OF ALL WHO KEEP HORSES.”

From the Era.

No one with the least equine knowledge can require to be told that Mr. Mayhew is the man for the task which he has undertaken, and most satisfactorily accomplished. His high reputation in the veterinary art, and his qualifications as a practiced writer on domestic animals, render him the very person for supplying an intelligent and interesting work on the diseases of the horse, which would be devoid of mere professional technicalities, while, at the same time, his skill as a draughtsman, and humor as a witty observer of life, enabled him to illustrate with his pencil what he had written with his pen. We advisedly say that “The Illustrated Horse Doctor” is the very best book of the kind which we know; and what gives it an especial charm is, that the author so thoroughly sympathizes with the noble animal which he describes.... We at once pronounce it as scientific, yet intelligible; informing, yet highly amusing; acceptable to the profound horse doctor, yet the work of all others for the book-shelves in every gentleman’s sanctum.... We give it our unqualified approbation and recommendation.

From the Glasgow Morning Journal.

This admirable and comprehensive treatise will be of priceless value to a large section of the community. It is, by far, the best manual of Veterinary Art we have ever seen, and is written in so popular a fashion, and is so free from anything approaching technical phraseology, that its precepts cannot fail to be comprehended by even those who are comparatively uninstructed in the mysteries of veterinary science....

From the London Morning Advertiser.

... The work from first to last bears the stamp not only of the educated horse doctor and fluent writer, but of the scholar. Mr. Mayhew has mixed up so much that is popularly interesting with what is practical, that the general reader will find much to interest as well as to instruct, even though not possessed of one of the equine race. The ills that horse flesh is heir to are, alas! many and dreadful; diseases of the abdomen, brain disease, bronchitis, calculi, cataract, heart disease, gastritis, acute and chronic; hydrophobia, inflammation of every sort, madness, and mad staggers, megrims, spavin, rheumatism, spasms and tetanus, are but a few of the evils with which this noble animal and help to man is afflicted. These and others are all treated of in a masterly manner by Mr. Mayhew.

From the London Globe.

Every gentleman who possesses or cares for horses would do well to keep this book in his house. Mr. Mayhew’s treatment of the worst diseases to which horses are liable is very clearly laid down, and the method of keeping horses well and to a prolonged old age is that of nature, of common sense.

From the Army and Navy Gazette.

... It is just such a good practical work on the Veterinary Art as most of us horse-using (and not unfrequently, we fear, abusing) Englishmen have long felt the need of.... It is truly, as it professes to be, an “Illustrated Horse Doctor,” and if Mr. Mayhew has hitherto hidden his light under a bushel, he has certainly made up for lost time in the work before us, and thrown it all upon his present volume with admirable effect.

From the Sun.

... We have before us a compendious history of all the diseases which horse flesh is heir to, and which man’s abuse has bequeathed to it, with directions for treatment, and the necessary remedies, likewise the exposure of popular fallacies.... A horse sinks exhausted in the field, after only a short run, and the rider is thunderstruck. Had he read Mr. Mayhew’s book, and taken notice of the warning signal, of which, poor man, he was unaware, and put on the break, the catastrophe would not have been. It is in cases such as these, or where accidents happen in out-of-the-way places, much useful information is to be gained by the general reader.... In conclusion, we wish Mr. Mayhew the success his work deserves, and the public the good taste to appreciate it.

From Bell’s Messenger.

We are inclined to think that this is about the very best book respecting the treatment of equine disease that ever has been written or published. The author is evidently well acquainted with the duties of his profession, and willing to give a world-wide extent to his own useful and practical experience, so that those who read may adopt his rules and regimen, and save that noble animal, whose use is one of the greatest blessings mankind enjoys, from much pain and suffering. In country districts, where the horse doctor cannot easily be summoned, this book will be invaluable; while, in more frequented localities, its use will always be found to be safe and judicious. The illustrations are clever, and fully serve the purpose for which they are annexed—to give certain indications of disease, and the readiest means of treatment.

CHAMBERS’S BOOK OF DAYS.

THE BOOK OF DAYS:

A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities in connection with the Calendar, including Anecdote, Biography, and History, Curiosities of Literature, and Oddities of Human Life and Character. Edited under the supervision of Robert Chambers. In two volumes, Royal 8vo.

This interesting work consists of— I. Matters connected with the Church Calendar, including the Popular Festivals, Saints’ Days, and other Holidays, with illustrations of Christian Antiquities in general. II. Phenomena connected with the Seasonal Changes. III. Folk-Lore of the United Kingdom, namely, Popular Notions and Observances connected with Times and Seasons. IV. Notable Events, Biographies, and Anecdotes connected with the Days of the Year. V. Articles of Popular Archaeology, of an entertaining character, tending to illustrate the progress of Civilization, Manners, Literature, and Ideas. VI. Curious Fugitive and Inedited Pieces.

From the Boston Transcript.

A book occasionally appears which is precisely adapted to the wants of those for whom it is intended. The “Book of Days” is the best representative of this class. Designed to instruct and amuse the home circle, containing matter of the most varied sort and of general interest, prepared and arranged with ability and care, handsomely, profusely, and appropriately illustrated, it cannot fail to find its way to every reading family, and must become immensely popular. * * * It is, however, next to impossible to describe this work; if our readers see it they will buy it, especially if they want a book for the fireside.

KIRK’S CHARLES THE BOLD.

HISTORY OF CHARLES THE BOLD, DUKE OF BURGUNDY. BY JOHN FOSTER KIRK. 2 Vols. 8vo.

Muslin, uncut, on white paper $3 00 per vol.

Half Morocco, with Vellum Cloth Sides and Gilt Top, on Tinted Laid paper 3 50 "

From the Atlantic Monthly.

We have no hesitation in assigning to Mr. Kirk’s most fascinating narrative a place with the great achievements of genius in the department he has chosen to fill. His advent among historians will be welcomed the world over.

From the New York Tribune.

Will unquestionably establish the title of Mr. Kirk to an eminent position in the already justly honored school of American historians.

From the Christian Examiner.

Mr. Kirk has been very fortunate in the choice of a subject for his first great historical work, and if the concluding volume shall be executed with the same ample learning, the same thorough mastery of his subject, and the same fidelity of purpose which are exhibited in the volumes now published, few persons will question his right to a place among the best of our living historians. * * *

From the Evangelical Quarterly.

Nothing within the compass of modern literature has been published more attractive than the narrative contained in the volumes before us. It is one of absorbing interest. The author always rises to the measure of his subject, and, placing himself in genial sympathy with his characters, inspires his readers with something of the same enthusiasm. The style is simple yet rich, the narrative bold and striking; the facts are presented with great discrimination and skill. The work is an honor to the accomplished author, who is destined to take a prominent position among our American historians.

From the New York Times.

Nothing can be more certain than that Mr. Kirk has enriched the literature of America and Europe with a work that takes at once its destined stand in our libraries and in the estimation of competent judges and the public. * * * His success places the author in a proud position, and we look forward to meeting him again, possibly in subjects more congenial to his great powers of reasoning and political disquisition. With the exception of a few spots illuminated by the genius of Prescott and Motley, the modern history of Continental Europe for the two centuries previous to the French Revolution is almost a blank to the American reader, and needs for its illustration the qualities that Mr. Kirk so largely possesses.

From the Boston Transcript.

This work will more than answer the highly raised expectations of the public, both in respect to the author’s extent of original research and novelty of matter, while in fluency and picturesqueness of narrative style and thorough grasp of the subject in all its details, it will take a proud place among the most esteemed histories of the country.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The most striking literary product of the year, and one that will be a standard while English speech endures, is Mr. Kirk’s History of Charles the Bold. In delineation of character it is admirable; in research thorough, exhaustive, systematic; in style charming without profuse ornament, logical and precise without being dry. * * *

New Dictionary of Quotations.

A New Dictionary of Quotations, from the Greek, Latin, and Modern Languages, translated into English, and occasionally accompanied with Illustrations, Historical, Poetical, and Anecdotical. With an extensive Index, referring to every important word. One vol. crown 8vo., muslin, beveled boards.

On the score of utility it may be classed among the most excellent and convenient, not only to the general reader, but to the scholar who, in active life, has suffered his classics to rust. The New Dictionary will find a place in the hands of every reader of current literature.—North American.

Lieber’s Civil Liberty.

On Civil Liberty and Self-Government. By Francis Lieber, LL.D., author of “Political Ethics,” “Principles of Legal and Political Interpretation,” etc. etc. 8vo.

👉 This work is used as a text-book in our best institutions of learning.

It is to all intents and purposes a text-book of American politics. Would that it might be generally regarded as such! Then our young men, instead of wasting too much time upon ephemeral reading, would be laying up a store of comprehensive facts and principles which would prove of enduring value to themselves and the country; they would see in what true liberty consists, and would recognize the sure means of its perpetuation.—Boston Journal.

Parsons on Notes and Bills.

A Treatise on the Law of Promissory Notes and Bills of Exchange, with an Appendix, containing an accurate reprint of the Provisions of the Statute in relation to Bills, Notes, Letters of Credit, Drafts, Orders, and Checks; together with an examination of the questions which the Statute suggests, and the English authorities upon those questions which have arisen under the English Stamp Acts, and may arise under our own. By Theophilus Parsons, LL.D., Professor of Law in Cambridge University. Two vols. 8vo.

* * * The general character of the Treatise is exhaustiveness, the learned author having labored with splendid success to make his work one that shall meet all the requirements of that province of Law to which it is devoted, and to give to persons interested therein a guide upon which the completest reliance can be placed. Its publication adds to his high fame, and it places the entire business world under the greatest obligations to him.—Boston Traveller.

Hilliard on Bankruptcy and Insolvency.

A Treatise on the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency. By Francis Hilliard, author of “The Law of Torts,” etc. One vol. 8vo.

Mr Hilliard’s book is evidently the result of much intelligent labor, and, as a complete, methodical, and well digested summary of the present law will be of great value to the profession, especially since the recent vote of the House of Representatives appears, for the present at least, to have settled the question of a new and permanent national law of bankruptcy.—American Law Register.

Macaulay’s History of England.

The History of England, from the Accession of James II. By Thomas Babington Macaulay. In 5 vols. 12mo edition, complete. With Portrait and full Index.

This edition is in all respects the most valuable and satisfactory of any published in this country or in England, inasmuch as the fifth volume, in addition to a full and well-classified index, contains a biographical and critical sketch of Macaulay’s life, character, and writings, by S. Austin Allibone, whose eminent fitness for this work will be universally admitted. Mr. Allibone’s biographies and criticisms upon his writings down to 1857 were submitted to Mr. Macaulay, whose personal revision thus renders the article accurate and therefore perfectly reliable. The fifth volume also contains a double-page fac-simile from one of Mr. Macaulay’s latest MSS.

The Life of Thomas Jefferson. By Henry S. Randall, LL.D. In 3 vols. 8vo. Illustrated by Portraits and other Engravings on Steel, a View of Monticello, and various fac-similes, including the Original Draft of the Declaration of Independence.

This Life of Mr. Jefferson is, in every sense, an authorized work. It was undertaken under the approbation of his family, with an unreserved access to and use of all the private papers of Mr. Jefferson in their possession, and has received the benefit of their recollections and opinions at every step. The purely original matter comprises about one-third of the work. In the department of the biography, embracing some materials which have already been published, it has been Mr. Randall’s aim, as often as practicable, to present Mr. Jefferson’s own words. The work contains his expressions on perhaps every great question which arose from his advent in public life to his death,—a period of about sixty years, and embracing the whole FORMING period of the Republic. The work contains, besides Mr. Jefferson’s heretofore unpublished family correspondence, selections from his finest published letters, state papers, etc.

Carey’s Social Science.

The Principles of Social Science. By Henry C. Carey, LL.D. In 3 vols. 8vo.

Of his system it may be truly said that, although the study of political economy dries up narrow minds and reduces their vision on earth to goods and sales and profits, this study must ever be, for minds nobly endowed, a source of exalted meditation upon the means of ameliorating the lot of the human family, and upon the blessings vouchsafed by the Eternal Author of all good.—North American.

However the reader may sometimes join issue with the logic or recoil from the conclusions of this production, it will never be without respect for the signal ability displayed by the writer in this difficult walk of scientific literature.—National Intelligencer.

Frick’s Physical Technics.

Physical Technics; or, Practical Instructions for Making Experiments in Physics, and the construction of Physical Apparatus with the most limited means. By Dr. J. Frick, Director of the High School in Freiburg, and Professor of Physics in the Lyceum. Translated by Rev. Dr. John B. Easter. Illustrated by over 800 engravings. One vol. 8vo.

From Prof. Wm. J. Rolfe, A.M., Master of the High School, Salem, Mass.

Frick’s work is as useful as it is unique,—as valuable in its matter as it is beautiful in its mechanical execution. No other book published in this country, and none, I think, in the English language, covers the same ground. Many teachers will learn from it how to add, to the scanty apparatus often furnished them, scores of ingenious contrivances for experimental purposes at a very trifling expense. It will suggest to them, moreover, hundreds of admirable experiments not hinted at in the school text-books, or heard of even in the lecture-rooms of our colleges. The book ought to be in the library of every school where physical science is taught.

Sloan’s Homestead Architecture: Containing forty designs for villas, cottages, and farm-houses, with essays on style, construction, landscape gardening, furniture, etc. Illustrated with upwards of 200 engravings. By Samuel Sloan, Architect. One vol. 8vo.

The first of these works is adapted to the wants of the practical builder and mechanic, presenting in natural succession numerous examples of forms generally esteemed the most useful in constructive carpentry. The second is devoted mainly to city architecture, containing a great number of designs and illustrations for public edifices, private residences, and mercantile buildings. Each volume is illustrated by a great variety of elegant engravings, and besides the value of the reading matter, which to a great extent is founded on the personal experience of the author, in point of typographical finish and beauty is a model of tasteful and attractive execution.—N. Y. Tribune.

Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World.

Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World. By Robert Dale Owen, formerly Member of Congress, and American Minister to Naples. One vol. 12mo. $1.25.

This work is devoted to an inquiry whether occasional interferences from another world in this be reality or delusion. It treats of the phenomena of sleep, dreams, somnambulism. It examines the alleged evidences for presentiments, second-sight, house-hauntings, and apparitions; referring to the most approved modern works on hallucination, insanity, and the nervous system. It inquires whether, when we set down the narratives of all ages (including our own) that touch on the marvels referred to, as mere vulgar superstitions, we are overlooking any actual phenomena.

From Brig.-General Wm. A. Hammond, Surgeon-General U.S.A. Washington, D. C., Feb. 21st, 1864. My Dear Doctor:—

It gives me great pleasure to confirm your recollection of what I several years ago said to you in regard to your series of books on Natural History. Not only did I receive my first ideas of zoology from them, but if I had to commence now the study of natural science I would certainly take your books for my guide. I would be glad to see them brought more prominently forward so as to occupy the place to which they are entitled.

Yours sincerely, WILLIAM A. HAMMOND. Dr. W. S. W. Ruschenberger, U.S.N., Boston, Mass.
