« The Intention of this Essay, is fully to explain and consider, Anatomically, the
Nature, Structure, and Conformation of the different Parts of the Foot. That the Feet
of a Horse, like the Foundation of a Building, are the Support of the whole Body,
is a Proportion that sufficiently demonstrates the Usefusness of an exait Enquiry
into these Parts, which other Authors have either passed over in Silence, or thought
not worth looking into.
The most noble Superstructure, railed on a bad Foundation, must fall; the Horse with
bad Feet must necessarily come down, and be useless, or dangerous, to his Rider :
Therefore, to carry the Simile on, as, before erecting a Fabric, we should consider
the Foundation we propose to build on, so, before we look upon any other Part of the
Anatomical Mechanism of the Horse, it seems most proper to examine nicely into the
Foot, and consider all its Parts attentively; because they constitute the Balls and
Support of his whole Frame. […] » Présentation de l’éditeur (1752)
