AUTOBIOGRAPHY. I2/ 



by the Toronto class, the original of which 

 can be seen in my possession, on parchment : 



TORONTO, January, 1875. 



Dear Sir : The undersigned, on behalf of the members 

 of your numerous class in this city, desire to testify their 

 appreciation of the valuable instructions you have imparted 

 to them. The unwearying assiduity with which you have 

 endeavored to make those instructions comprehensive and 

 entertaining, and their high estimation of your admirable 

 system of educating and managing the horse. The knowl- 

 edge imparted to us during the many lectures and exhibitions 

 of your unexampled method of treating that noble animal 

 may be of incalculable benefit to many of us. We do not 

 hesitate to say that numbers of accidents occur daily (many 

 fatally) through an insufficient knowledge of managing the 

 animal you have made so perfectly subject to your will, and 

 we advise every one whose business or profession require 

 frequent, if not constant, use of the horse to embrace an 

 early opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of your system. 

 Farmers, whom business occasionally calls into our cities, and 

 the immediate neighborhood of our railways, we especially 

 urge the necessity of learning your simple and effective 

 method of control, a method easily understood by the in- 

 structive faculties of the horse as by the reasoning faculties 

 of men. 



We trust that your sojourn in the Queen City of the West 

 has been both pleasant and remunerative, so far at least that 

 will at no distant day induce your return.'
