    The art of farriery both in theory and practice, containing the causes, symptoms, and cure of all diseases incident to horses with anatomical descriptions, illustrated with cuts, for the better explaining the structure, and accounting for the various disorders of these useful animals : as also many rules relating to the choice and management of horses of all kinds, and useful directions how to avoid being imposed upon by jockies wherein some egregious errors of former writers are occasionally pointed out / by John Reeves. The whole revised, corrected, and enlarged by a physician. To which is added, a new method of curing a strain in the back sinews, and the anatomy of a horse's leg, with some observations on shoeing, also an appendix, containing some necessary observations on the late epidemical distemper among horses, and a method of cure. By an eminent surgeon.
