INTRODUCTION.

In presenting this concise treatise upon castration of thedomestic animals, it is not intended to offer new modes ofoperation, but merely to collect together the various methodsin use and leave the reader to appreciate them at their value.It is a work which, it is believed, has not yet been done inEnglish veterinary literature, and on this account it is hopedwill prove of interest and use to those engaged in thatspecialty of veterinary surgery.

In gathering the material, advantage has been taken ofseveral of the most recent works of French and Germanwriters on the subject, and plates have been obtained fromthe original and excellent wood cuts of Zundel, and Peuch,and Toussaint.

In presenting this volume to the indulgence of veterinarians,it is with pleasure that the author acknowledges andoffers his sincere thanks to Dr. Holt for the great assistancehe has kindly given in revising the manuscript.
