APPENDIX 



The following are the conditions of sale at 

 Messrs. Tattersall's and other repositories. [I had 

 to apologize to those gentlemen in my first edition, 

 for erroneously spelling their name throughout the 

 work : the error was not discovered till the sheets 

 were worked off. — This explanation has become in- 

 cidentally of some importance ; for one of your 

 critics, proverbially a good-natured race, has quoted 

 the error, but not the explanation ; and quoted it as 

 conclusive evidence of my ignorance of horse-flesh 

 and all matters relating thereto ! The fact is simply, 

 that I employed another hand to copy my manu- 

 script for the press, and entrusted him with the 

 correction of it. I did not discover the mistake till 

 the sheets were worked off, and the type broken up ; 

 I had then no alternative, but to correct it in the 

 Appendix. The error, such as it is, was not found 

 in the concluding sheets.]
