EDITOR OF VARIOUS LEARNED PERFORMANCES- 



SIR, 



YOU have, no doubt, heard of the de- 

 Icription of Natural Philofophers, called 

 Pigeon Fanciers, who breed the bird of 

 that name, and all its varieties. I was 

 once. Sir, a member of this community, till 

 growing tir'd of Pouters, Tumblers, Nuns, 

 Croppers, Runts, i>cc. &cc, I was refolved 

 to enlarge my ideas, by extending my re- 

 fearches, and abandoning the Biped, to ob- 

 tain a clofer acquaintance with the Qua- 

 druped, I became a Horfe Fancier. Being 

 fond of riding, and daily obferving, in my 

 airings to Brentford, a very great variety of 



horfes.
