APPENDIX. 



Every horfe in Arabia (except thofe which by 

 way of contempt are called Guidich, or pack horfes) 

 has a degree of good qualities fuperior to thofe 

 of any other places •, but it is not to be fuppofed, 

 but that there are certain parts of that country, 

 which have attained a higher perfection in the art 

 of management than the others. 



Thus" we find by fome late information *, that 

 Temine in Arabia Falix, is at prefent in great re- 

 pute for its breed -, for the jockies of that part have 

 acquired fuch a fuperior name, as to be able to fell 

 their three year old horfes for two or three hundred 

 guineas a-piece, and when they can be prevailed on 

 to part with a favorite ftaUion, they will not take 

 lefs for it than fifteen hundred guineas. It is from 

 this country that the great men in India are fup- 

 plicd with horfes, for India itfelf is poffeffcd of a 

 very bad kind ; thefe noble animals being much 

 negle&ed there, from the conftant ufe of the 

 Buffalo, not only in tillage, but even in riding. 



It may be allowed here to give fome account of 

 the horfes of other countries, which derive their 

 origin, or at left receive their improvement from 

 the" Arabian kind, for wherefoever the Saracens 

 fpread their victorious arms, they, at the fame 

 time, introduced their generous race of horfes. 



Thofe of Perfta are light, fwift, and very like 

 thofe of Arabia, but formed very narrow before :
