Description
Excerpt from A Practical Guide to Meat Inspection
In preparing the Fourth Edition of this book, the original intention of the Editor was to follow on the lines usually adopted in such an undertaking.
After various attempts, however, he saw that it would be impossible to carry this out with any success, and he decided to re-write and enlarge the whole book.
Those who were acquainted with the former editions of Walley's "Meat Inspection," will hardly recognise the Fourth Edition as a direct lineal descendant. Nevertheless the Editor wishes to acknowledge that the new edition is indebted to the old for much useful information, and that he himself must ever remember with gratitude the valuable personal instruction on the subject of Meat Inspection which he received from the late Professor Walley.
In order to perform the higher duties of a Meat Inspector - the Editor is of opinion that veterinary surgeons should not condescend to what might be called the policeman's part - a considerable knowledge of Comparative Pathology, including those branches of the subject termed Bacteriology and Parasitology, is necessary. It must be understood, however, that in no sense does the Editor claim for the Fourth Edition that it is a text-book of Pathology, Bacteriology, or Parasitology. His object has been to introduce just so much of each as is necessary to enable the veterinary student to understand the nature of the morbid changes with which he is likely to meet in the abattoirs.
