76 STRAINS, 



notwlthftanding which I fliall prefume to in- 

 troduce my farther advice, and recommend it 

 moft ilrenuoufly to fuch owners as have horfes 

 in this predicament, to extend their lenity for 

 iix weeks at leaft in the former cafe, and two 

 months in the latter, left, by an almoft imme- 

 diate relapfe, they may have reafon to repent 

 thQiv /o/ly or impatience. 



STRAINS 



Are a part of this treatife to which fuch 

 frequent application will be made for inform- 

 ation, that they cannot be too accurately ex- 

 plained for the purpofe of being well under- 

 ftood. And as I would much rather appeal 

 to the tafte and critical inquiries of the intel- 

 ligent and enlightened reader than the caprice 

 of the prejudiced vulgar, I fhall be more 

 anxious to obtain the approbation of the ju- 

 dicious, by a minute and explanatory invefti- 

 gation, than the faniftion of the multitude by 

 fuch a fuperficial account as would beft come 

 into compacft with the ftandard of their com- 

 prehenfion.
