An historical account of the instigation and early biography of Edinburgh's Veterinary College. The college was set up in 1823 by William Dick, funded by student fees and a grant from the Highland Society. Improved accommodation was made available at Clyde Street from 1833 and continued there until 1913, when the college moved to its present location.

A chapter on past and present staff includes the names of a succession of professors in medicine, surgery, cattle pathology, anatomy, physiology, botany, zoology, hygiene, and dietetics. There are similar lists concerning lecturers in stable management, zootechny, jurisprudence, and histology, and a record of those associated with the college who died in the WWI.
