Bracken, Henry (1697 – 1764)

« Chirurgien et accoucheur anglais (à Lancastre) du XVIIIe siècle, grand amateur de chasse et de course, il étudia les écrits des hippiatres et s’occupa de maréchalerie. Ses principales publications traitent de la ferrure; ce sont des notes sur le Maréchal de poche du capitaine Burdon, parues en 1735, et un traité de maréchalerie (Farriery improv’d. or a compleat Treatise upon the Art of Farriery, London, 1738), dont la neuvième édition, en deux volumes, a paru en 1783. Il a donné une traduction du Traitement de la morve et de l’emploi du trépan, par Lafosse[1]. » Neumann (1896)
