    PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. The inauguration of the law requiring horseshoers to be ex- amined emphasizes the need of a brief and easily understood text-book on theoretical and practical horseshoeing. At the re- quest of the Royal Veterinary Commission, in Charge of the Royal Veterinary School in Dresden, and many interested individuals, I have attempted to meet this need by condensing within the narrowest possible limits all that is essential to the horseshoer in the practice of his profession. The subject-matter has been cast into a logically arranged course of instruction ; all that is superfluous and is found only in exhausiive treatises on shoeing has been omitted. In orderte make this eleinentary text-book more easy to under- stand, numerous instructive illustrations have been incorporated, which were taken partly from “ Der Fuss des Pferdes,” by Lei- sering & Hartmann, fifth edition, Dresden, 1882; partly froin the journal Der Hufschmied, and partly from drawings made specially for this Work. With the desire that this little book may find many friends and supply them with valuable information, it is herewith given to the public. The Author. Dresden, September, 1884.
