Excerpt from A Manual of Veterinary Sanitary Science and Police, Vol. 1 of 2: Embracing the Nature, Causes, Symptoms, Etc;, And the Prevention, Suppression, Therapeutic Treatment, and Relations to the Public Health of the Epizootic and Contagious Diseases of the Domesticated Animals; With a Scheme for a Veterinary Sanitary Organiza At a period antecedent to the Cattle-plague invasion of 1865, the subject of contagious diseases among the domesticated animals, and the great losses and embarrassment they were inflicting upon this and other countries, had seriously attracted my attention, and engaged the hours I had to spare from professional and other duties. A resolve to write a complete treatise upon them resulted in the appearance, in 1871, of "Animal Plagues: their History, Nature, and Prevention," which was intended to be the first of three volumes devoted to this subject. It contained a chronological history of these maladies from B.C. 1490 to A.D. 1800, with a notice of concurrent diseases in the vegetable kingdom and in the human species, and a glance at such terrestrial and celestial phenomena as preceded or accompanied these events, and were often supposed to favour their occurrence.
