It is at all times advisable, particularly if the 

 purchase be an high priced one, to hand the steed 

 over to a breaker for the first drive or so, as may be 

 deemed necessary, which precaution alone will be calculated 

 to save a multitude of after discoveries, risks, and in- 

 conveniences, and give confidence to the speculator, and a 

 better appreciation of the value. At the same time it will 

 not be considered out of place for all concerned to 

 endeavour to endorse the Shakesperian line, viz : 



" Truth loves open dealing."
