Condition and Status of the Book:

Full Leather Binding Binding in Good Condition with no lettering to spine.The work was published at the desire of the numerous gentlemen and farmers who were Clater's employers, and appears to have roused the hostility of farriers generally. The writer insists chiefly on careful diagnosis of individual cases, and the use of pure drugs. Clater afterwards resided for many years at East Retford, where he practised as a chemist and druggist, as well as a cattle doctor, and, according to the inscription on a small memorial tablet set up in the methodist chapel in Newgate Street in that town, was much respected, and there died, on 29 May 1823, in the sixty-seventh year of his age.There is some weakness to the front hinge join and some pencil notes to the front pastedown (can be removed if desired) also there is a scrap of paper laid in with an old recipe or cure and which I believe is commensurate with the age period of the book,there is some scattered internal browning and foxing,8vo 180pp 16th Edition [1806] with one neat owner;s name in ink to the final page of text.
