Each part of this work has a separate title ; but is 

 similarly worded to the first. 



" The Second Part begins with Horsemanship, which 

 has received very large Additions, from the last 

 Edition of the Compleat Horseman, written by M. de 

 Solleysel, Querry to the present French King. 

 In short, whatever of use was in the first edition is 

 in this."
