Exeter: Josiah Richardson 1828. First Edition. First Edition. Good/No Jacket. First edition. Lacks title labe 1 inch chip from spine head boards rubbed stain to bottom half of final Family Guide section and a few pages preceding it all text still legible. 1828 Full-Leather. 468 24 pp. 12mo. Original full leather. A collection of remedies for both animals and people including some herbal treatments. Two separate indexes to the various receipts follow the text of their respective sections. "A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care including the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot. A farrier couples a subset of the blacksmith's skills fabricating adapting and adjusting metal shoes with a subset of veterinary medicine knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb to address the care of the horse's feet. At one time farrier and blacksmith were all but synonymous. A farrier's work in colonial America or pre-Industrial Revolution Europe would have included horseshoeing as well as the fabrication and repair of tools the forging of architectural pieces etc. Today farriers usually specialize in horseshoeing focusing their time and effort on the care of the horse's foot. For this reason farriers and blacksmiths are considered to be in separate albeit related trades. A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary cases it is important to trim each hoof so that it retains its proper orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load works on abrasive footing needs additional traction or has pathological changes in the foot then shoes may be required. Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured and/or diseased hooves and application of special shoes for racing training or 'cosmetic' purposes. In cases of horses with certain diseases or injuries special remedial procedures may be needed for the hooves and then special shoes may need to be constructed and fitted.

A Strong Man Needed
New York: Horace Liveright Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. spine just a bit turned small dent in top edge of front cover minor fraying at spine ends; jacket bright and attractive in spite of a bit of irregular fading along the spine and a touch of creasing at top of spine. The first novel by this English journalist and short-story writer a rather self-consciously "madcap" satire: the jacket blurb promises "amazing swoops of cuckoo fun and general insanities and at the same time grand satire and a healthy if absurd romance." The wackiness centers around the Cadwallows who in addition to being "one of the noblest and nuttiest families in England" also happen to be teetering on the brink of impoverishment. Potential salvation from their financial plight arrives in the person of Miss Wilhelmina Harkaway known as "Bill" a nine-foot-tall giantess who has been brought from Australia by the family's youngest son. She is readily adopted by the Cadwallow clan and with the patronage of a wealthy and even more eccentric friend a scheme is hatched to launch her on a prizefighting career and thereby reap a fortune. This isn't due to any discernible skill on her part in that regard or even to any inherent combativeness in her nature -- she's really quite a nice young lady of nineteen -- but simply because well it's that kind of book. Not surprisingly her enormous size and commensurate strength permits her to defeat all challengers and in no time at all she becomes a somewhat freakish celebrity even at one point going on an American tour. The human-freak-boxing angle is of interest as the author did a little amateur boxing himself as a young man and later garnered praise for a series of short fantasy stories about a "dwarf surrealist boxer" named Engelbrecht.
