PREFACE. 



The rapid improvement which has been made in the art of 

 wood-cutting since the First Edition was published, will be 

 apparent by comparing the portraits of Horses, by Mr. Harvey, 

 in the present Edition, with the cuts in the original work. 



The Committee are indebted to the able author of the Treatise 

 of Draught for the revision of his part of the work. 



By Order of the Committee, 



THOMAS COATES, SEC.
