Excerpt from A Text-Book of Veterinary Obstetrics: Including the Diseases and Accidents Incidental to Pregnancy, Parturition, and Early Age in Domesticated Animals; With Two Hundred and Twelve Illustrations When we consider the vast and yearly increasing amount of animal wealth we possess, the great Skill, attention, and expense bestowed on the perfecting Of the most important of the domesticated creatures, which are daily becoming more essential factors in our progressive Civilization, it is somewhat remarkable, and rather discreditable, though not alto gether inexplicable, that nothing in the way of a work devoted to the parturition of animals, and to the diseases and accidents incidental to that period, has yet appeared in the English language. For very many years the anglo-saxon race has devoted itself most assiduously and praiseworthily, and with the greatest measure of success, to the multi plication and full development of those qualities which more particularly enhance the value and utility of animals. This has entailed unwearied efforts, the closest and shrewdest Observation, and all the judgment and practical and scientific knowledge which generations of men could afford.
