Veterinary Surgery and Practice of Medicine, or Farriery taught on a new Plan, being a familiar Treatise on all the Diseases and Accidents to which the Horse is Liable, the Causes and Symptoms of Each, and the most approved Remedies employed for the Cure in every Case, with Instructions to the Shoeing-Smith, Farrier, and Groom, how to acquire Knowledge in the Art of Farriery, and the Prevention of Diseases, preceded by a popular Description of the animal Functions in Health, and showing the Principles on which these are to be restored when Disordered. By John Hinds, with Considerable Additions and Improvements, particularly Adapted to this Country, by Thomas M. Smith, John Grigg, Philadelphia, 1834, folding frontis, three folding plates and black and white illustrations, 224 pp plus 2pp ads in rear, full original leather, 7.5 x 4.5 , 12mo. In good condition. Light wear to extremities with minor scuffing to edges and corners. Top third of front exterior hinge cracking a little but binding tight and solid. Four folding plates in good working order, intact. Light foxing throughout with minor instances of age stain. Free of known markings or ownership. Binding tight and intact. Please see photos. Though recorded on the title as 'John Hinds, veterinary surgeon', the author is identified as John Badcock (fl. 1810 1830), a little-known writer who had pursued a journalistic career over the previous two decades, specialising in sporting works. From 1827, when the first edition of Veterinary Surgery appeared, all his publications related to horses, with revised editions of Osmer's Treatise and Thompson's Rules for bad Horsemen both issued in 1830. Whether Badcock, most likely native to Devon, ever in fact practised or trained as a veterinary surgeon is not known. N° de ref. del artículo COLN1834AFGW
