 containing a faithful translation of that most noble 



and useful work of His Grace, William 

 Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, entitled, 



The Manner of Feeding, Dressing, and Training 

 of Horses for the Great Saddle, and Fitting them 

 for the Service of the Field in Time of War, or 

 for the Exercise and Improvement of Gentlemen 

 in the Academy at home. A Science peculiarly 

 necessary throughout all Europe, and which has 

 hitherto been so much neglected, or discouraged 

 in England, that young Gentlemen have been 

 obliged to have recourse to foreign Nations for 

 this part of their Education. With all the origi-

 were engrav'd by the best Foreign J\Iasters, under 

 his Grace's immediate care and inspection, and 

 which are explained in the different Lessons. 

 And to give all the Improvements that may be, 

 this work is ornamented with capitals and initial 

 letters, properly adapted to the subsequent chap- 

 ters; and enlarged with an index. London. 1743.
