« […] When one becomes once familiar with the fine points of the Arab he can see traces of the fine points of this breed impressed everywhere : there is no question that it has been the uplifting, ennobling quality which has been introduced in the blood of commoner horses from a period dating back from 1600 to 2000 B. C.
To know the Arab horse is to love him. Those who, like the author of the present work, are endeavouring to maintain the purity of the original breed, and to es- tablish the value of its qualities, are rendering a substantial, practical, and theoretical service. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1906)
