OF THE EYES, 387 



establish my own want of taste, confess I 

 would encounter the lesser evil of the two, 

 and rather (for my own riding) prefer a horse 

 with large haxos to one zmthouf eyes. This 

 opinion may appear singular to the professors 

 oi farriery^ to whom I have so particularly 

 addressed a variety of passages in the early 

 part of this work, and indeed to whose ap- 

 probation it cannot lay claim, being in direct 

 contradiction to the pecuniary prepondera- 

 tion of their professional judgment and exe- 

 cution.
