ROAD HORSES. 351 



,tibn of ROAD HORSES are fo exceedingly nu- 

 merous of the different kinds, that a diftincS: 

 mode of treatment for each particular fort 

 would be extending the fubjeft to a length 

 beyond the wifh and expedlation of every 

 reader. Such felecflion may therefore be made 

 from the general advice, as the inquirer may 

 find moft applicable to the flate of his horfe 

 and the purpofe of his appropriation ; though 

 the inflrudlions may be confidered as more 

 confiflently adapted to faddle and light car- 

 riage horfes, than thofe employed in heavy 

 machines, road waggons, and the inferior 

 vehicles in conftant ufe. 



Previous to further embarkation upon that 

 part of the fubjecl, it may not prove inap- 

 plicable to take an oblique furvey of thofe 

 public receptacles known by the appellation 

 of inns ; originally intended and admirably 

 calculated for the convenience and accommo- 

 dation of travellers, but unfortunately, like 

 many other institutions of general utility, per- 

 verted to the worfl of purpofes j having be- 

 come fo numerous (for the advantage of their 

 LICENCED contribution to government) that 

 they find it convenient lo pradife every de- 

 gree
