One object of a Veterinary College is to encourage the intro duction of useful animals into the country; another is the proper crossing of breeds already possessed; to which, it is well known that too little attention has hitherto been paid.
The Veterinary art also purports to teach the producing, rear ing and feeding each class and breed of domestic animals, accord ing to the most approved methods practiced in foreign countries, and there founded upon the union of science and experience. It is hardly possible to convey to the minds of those who have not travelled, and who have not paid particular attention to this part of the subject, an adequate impression of our deficiencies.
The breaking. Educating, training and fattening of domestic animals, form the next and by no means inconsiderable items ofin struction. It has often been remarked by foreigners, (and the remark is by no means unjust) that too little attention is almost every where in the United States paid to the breaking of horses. This important operation is generally left in the hands of unskil ful persons,-men who have no scientific and very little practical knowledge of the subject; the consequences are that these ani mals are badly broke, perhaps contract vicious habits - they are rendered less useful all their lives, and not unfrequently serious accidents occur, sometimes attended with the loss of the limbs or even the lives of valuable citizens. The more our cities increase in population, and the greater the number of rail roads by which our country is traversed, the more necessary will it become that our cattle should be well broke, and hence the introduction into the United States of a College, where the art of breaking them will be taught, cannot fail to be productive of encreasing good.

Product Description:
Excerpt from An Essay on the Veterinary Art: Setting Forth Its Great Usefulness, Giving an Account of the Veterinary Colleges in France and England, and Exhibiting the Facility and Utility of Instituting Similar Schools in the United States; To Which Is Added, a Few Hints Upon the Propriety of Conne The word Science in its most comprehensive sense means Knowledge; - in its general acceptation it is "Knowledge reduced to a system;" that is to say, arranged in regular order, so that it can be conveniently taught, - easily remembered, - and readily applied to useful purposes. An Art is the application of knowledge to some practicable end, - to answer some ornamental or useful purpose. The Arts are divided into fine and the useful. If the knowledge be merely accumulative experience, the art is called empirical; but if the knowledge is experience, guided by reason, - based upon general principles, - and brought under their control, it is a scientific art. Veterinary comprehends a knowledge of the external form as well as the internal structure and economy of domestic quadrupeds, the appropriate management of them, and the nature, causes and cure of their diseases. The Veterinary is a "Scientific Art" in the strictest sense of the term. It invites its votaries to the following studies, viz: - 1st. The different species, and various races of the domestic animals; - their different breeds; - the uses to which each breed is applicable; - the useful crossings of breeds; and the most economical and best methods of producing, rearing and feeding each class and breed. 2nd. The breaking, educating, training and fattening certain domestic animals. 3rd. Commercial jurisprudence, as regards domestic animals; including the uses to which can be applied, to the best advantage, their flesh, hides, offals of their hides, tallow, hair, wool, horns, teeth, hoofs, entrails, blood and bones.
