Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The want of an illustrated topographical treatise on equine anatomy has, in the experience of the author, been a great ban-ier to the efficient teaching of that all-important branch of veterinary education. In this work the object of the author has been to place in the hands of veterinary students a dissection guide comparable, in some degree, to the text-books at the service of the practical student of human anatomy. The order of dissection laid down is that which the author has fou.nd to be most advantageous, and he has attempted to describe with accuracy and moderate fulness the different organs as they present themselves in that order. This description is largely supplemented by the illustrations, which arc so complete that almost every organ in the body is delineated. The majority of these illustations are original, being faithful portraits of the authors own dissections. It is hoped that they will prove useful to the student, in the first place, as a plan and a guide in his work, and, secondly, as a means by which he may afterwards summon up a mental picture of his own dissections. While the book is specially designed for use in the dissecting-room, the author ventures to hope that it may also be serviceable to the veterinary practitioner. Special care has been taken in portraying those regions that possess a surgical interest, and the illustrations furnish a ready means by which the surgeon may refresh his memory regarding the objects to be met in the course of an operation. The greater number of the original drawings were made in the dissectingroom of theE oyal (D ick s) Veterinary College, by Mr J. Bayne, artist; a few were executed by Mr E. S. Rbid, artist; and the remainder by Mr R. H. Potts, veterinary student. A few of the illustrations were directly drawn on stone by Messrs W. A. K. Johnston. To all of these gentlemen the author is much indebte

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
