Excerpt from Blaine’s Outlines of the Veterinary Art, or a Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Curative Treatment of the Diseases of the Horse, And, Subordinately, of Those of Neat Cattle and Sheep: Illustrated by Surgical and Anatomical Plates
The Editor of the new edition of Elaine’s Veterinary Art has small occasion to remind the public of his labours the altered appearance of the Book will alone testify how much has been done to it.
He, however, may with pride point to the copper-plates, brilliantly executed by H. Adlard, Esq. While no one acquainted with the nicety and firmness of pencil requisite for anatomical delineations, but will at once recognize the artistic handling of W. Bagg, Esq., in the original drawings.
Now that his labours are finished, and the Book upon the eve of publication, the Editor feels there is some reason for pride; though, at the same time, some cause for regret at the omissions and defects which, on a close inspection, he is conscious may be detected in it.
