Vm THE EDITOR TO 



The Editor, therefore, of The Academy 

 for Grown Horfemen has now to congratulate 

 the pubhc on the difcovery of another work from 

 the pen of the much -admired Geoffrey Gam- 

 bado ; a work that contains fome of the moil 

 ufeful and extraordinary experiments, perhaps, 

 ever made in Horfemanfhip : feveral curious 

 cufloms and opinions of ingenious gentlemen, 

 little known to the world, and fome colleded 

 from very choice, but remote publications ; 

 together with (what will be no doubt efteem- 

 ed invaluable) Geoffrey's mofl: ingenious 

 fuggeflions, and prefcriptions towards the re- 

 moval of every difficulty and danger inci- 

 dental to that moft noble art : his anfwers 

 to fome queries put to him, and his criti- 

 cifms on others that were un-anfwerable. 



By the putting forth of this work the 

 public muft be let into much ufeful knowledge. 

 The many pra<3:ical attempts and atchieve- 

 ments herein recorded prove, beyond a doubt, 

 that fuch things have been ; and having been, 

 that in all probability fuch things are. And 

 even thofe experiments that have not been at- 

 tended.
