[Rarebooks] FS: 1804 French Cavalry -Bad Hay

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Gohier, J[ean] [B[aptiste].  "Des Effets des Pailles Rouillees ou Expose
des rapports, recherches et experiences sur les pailles affectees de
rouille, delivrees pendant le dernier trimestre de l'an 9, aux chevaux du
20.me regiment de Chasseurs, stationne a Arras"

Lyon; Chez Reymann et Comp.: 1804.

An interesting work on the effects of mildewed straw on horses and other
animals.  This is important because feeding or exposing them to this straw
(or hay) makes them allergic, an expensive and debilitating problem which
is still with us today. Gohier [1776-1819] was a veterinary surgeon with
the French cavalry and later a professor at the Veterinary School in Lyon.
 His other publications included "Observations et experiences faites a
l'Ecole Imperiale Veterinaire de Lyon" (1807), "Memoires et observations
sur la chirurgie et la m‚decine veterinaires" (1813?), and "Tableau
synoptique des coutumes, suivies dans la plupart des ci-devant provinces
de France, a l'egard des cas redhibitoires des animaux" (1814).

Period orange wrappers.  5.5"x8.25", 66 pages, sewn, untrimmed; some soil,
covers with some wear, etc.  A nice copy in its original state. 
Presentation inscription to "A.M. Lacouille, fils" from the author on the
front pastedown.  $300.00
