Notes

The original leaf b4 has been cancelled, and a fold of two leaves, paged xxiii-xxvi (p. [xxv] blank) inserted after p. xxii. An addition was probably made to the preface.
Collected from various authors, chiefly the works of Henry Bracken and William Gibson. Cf. Pref. The material was later reproduced in the author's Pharmacopoeia hippiatrica.
The first edition appeared in 1753. Cf. Sir Frederick Smith, The early hist. of veterinary literature, v. 2, p. 72.
E.G. Lafosse's method of trepanning glandered horses (described on p. 114-132) is set forth in his Traité sur le véritable siége de la morve des chevaux, et les moyens d'y remédier, Paris, 1749. Bartlet's appendix (p. 342-370) is apparently an abstract of Lafosse's Observations et découvertes faites sur des chevaux, avec une nouvelle pratique sur la ferrure, Paris, 1754. The plates are copies of those in that work.
