    PERFACE TO VOLUME II. The present work was left unfinished at the death of the author, the late Dr. Fleming, who, however, had prepared nearly all the manuscript with the exception of the last chapter or so. In deference to the wish of Dr. Fleming’s widow and his publishers, Messrs. Bailliere, Tindall and Cox, I undertook to attend to the completion of the work as being in a sense complementary to that of my late father, and I am responsible for the authorship of the last few pages. Dr. Fleming’s Manual has long held a high position in the not too abundant literature of veterinary science, and it is a matter of regret that he was not spared to put the final touches to the present Text-Book. Those who wish to have details of Dr. Fleming’s most industrious life will find them in the Veterinary Journal of 1901. W. Owen Williams. The New Veterinary College, Edinburgh, February, 1902.
