Chauveau's Anatomy of Domesticated Animals

Abstract

FOR a long time there has been a great want felt by veterinary surgeons of a first-class work on the anatomy of the horse and other domestic animals, to be to them as valuable and trustworthy a book of reference as Quain and Sharpey's Anatomy is to the student of human anatomy. This feeling has induced Mr. Flemming to undertake the very arduous and considerable task of translating from the French the generally esteemed “Traité d'Anatomie Comparée des animaux domestiques” of M. Chauvcau. The high position held by the Veterinary School of Lyons, and the great scientific reputation of its Professor, are sufficient guarantee for the excellence and accuracy of the original work before us, so that it will be unnecessary to enter into a detailed criticism of it: it will therefore be our chief duty to consider the manner in which the translation has been performed.

The Comparative Anatomy of the Domesticated Animals.

By A. Chauveau. Translated and edited by G. Flemming, Vet.-Surg. R.E. (J. and A. Churchill.)
