Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

with 8 folding plates, 1 as frontispiece; plates a little damaged at the folds, only one with any real loss (of a horse's right hind leg), some old fairly crude repairs (one using a fragment strip from the side of a sheet of Penny Reds, c. 1857), pp. iv, [5-] 144, 12mo, untrimmed in original paper-backed boards, paper lost at the foot of the spine, loss of surface to covers, top of rear fly-leaf torn away; some contemporary ms. notes to the inside cover, crossed-though but still legible, good. A scarce little book about the care of horses and other quadrupeds, with attractive line-engraved illustrations. Includes a compendium of ailments and their remedies, by which we learn various tricks such as how to make 'horse ointment', how 'to cure the mad staggers', and how to manage a horse 'that is feeble and faint'. The author also offers receipts for common complaints in oxen, hogs, sheep, and dogs. He has a broad range of veterinary solutions, including 'for oxen that are galled or bruised in the neck by the yoke'; 'for a bullock that has the bloody scour, or the bloody flux'; 'to destroy ticks or tickells in sheep', for 'the gargut, or blood, in swine'; how 'to feed a hog for lard'; a new 'a purge for a dog if you imagine he hath been poisoned', and many more. The final chapter is simply entitled 'Moles', but he offers advice only for their destruction. As well as numerous recipes, the author gives advices on the tricks of dealers, and how to avoid being swindled by the same. Worldcat contains only one listing for it, at Texas A&M. Likely a reissue of the first edition of 1790 (also scarce, with British Library, and Science Museum only in ESTC), with a new title page.
