24 England's horses, 



1. That if one must clioose an arbitrary title for the English 

 thoroughbred, it should rather be Anglo-Barb than Anglo-Arab. 



2. That Barb and Arab are not the same thing. 



3. That it is unreasonable to reject the names given by 

 owners and importers to their horses, and to lump Turkish, 

 Persian, and Hungarian horses under one general head of Arabs. 



4. That every English thoroughbred is an exotic coming on 

 both sides from some foreign stock, without any cross of English 

 blood in him, 



I may be told, perhaps, that these matters are not now of 

 importance, and that as the English thoroughbred has been 

 brought to a state of perfection, it does not much signify by 

 what process of crossing the result was arrived at ; but be that 

 as it may, the subject must always be one of great interest to 

 those who are not content to accep»t results without studying the 

 means b}' which they have been secured.
