« A brief Treatise on the formation of the horse, so far as it is of importance with
regard to his action of training the racehorse, steeplechaser, and hunter to- gether
with his management in health and disease has long since appeared to me as wanting
in the sports- man’s and groom’s library.
I was induced to believe that a work on this sub- ject, published at as small a cost
as possible, so as to bring it within the reach of every stableman in the land, might
be beneficial in rooting out old and care- fully-cherished prejudices, which have
thriven with greater luxuriance in stable management than in any branch of industry
with which I am acquainted.
I am unwilling to lay myself open to the suspicion of wishing to claim for this work

portion of it, sedulously to avoid all technicali- ties, and never to use two sentences
where one would sufficiently explain the matter in hand. […] » Présentation de l’éditeur
