Book Overview

In "A Plea For The Establishment Of Veterinary Colleges In The United States," James Bryan delivers a compelling argument for the urgent need for veterinary education in mid-19th century America. This lecture, presented before the State Agricultural Society of Pennsylvania in 1854, highlights the critical role of animal health in the nation's agricultural prosperity. Bryan emphasizes the necessity of formal veterinary training to combat diseases and improve the overall well-being of livestock, particularly horses, which were essential for transportation and agriculture at the time.

Bryan's lecture offers a fascinating glimpse into the early discussions surrounding veterinary medicine in the United States and its importance to the economic and social fabric of the country. This historical document is invaluable for anyone interested in the history of veterinary science, agricultural practices, and the development of educational institutions in America.
