| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: Seems rare; appears to lack two leaves but this is as issued, with the frontispiee and engraved title included in the pagination (see the discussion with "The pocket farrier, a treatise on the veterinary art"). There is a separate section title page, included in the pagination, for the text on parturient animals (p173/174). Also (as with "The pocket farrier...") there were two issues of this book, with the Derby imprint likely being the first issue. The second issue gives London as the pre-eminent imprint location, but the date is still 1844. As with all issues of "The pocket farrier..." and "The cow doctor..." the date only appears on the engraved title page. |
