About the author
A. J. Murray, identified in library and ebook records as Alexander James Murray, is credited with veterinary works focused on cattle disease. He is listed as the author of Cattle and Their Diseases and as a contributor to Special Report on Diseases of Cattle, a government publication that brought together guidance on the prevention, recognition, and treatment of livestock illness.
Project Gutenberg’s edition of Special Report on Diseases of Cattle identifies A. J. Murray as the author of the section on diseases of the digestive organs and gives his professional designation as M.R.C.V.S., showing that he was a qualified veterinary surgeon. His writing is practical and direct, aimed at people responsible for the everyday health and feeding of cattle rather than at a purely academic audience.
Beyond those bibliographic traces, reliable biographical details about his life are hard to confirm from the sources available here. What can be said with confidence is that his name remains attached to early veterinary reference material intended to make livestock care more systematic and informed.
