OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



''Must certainly the above title is no misnomer, for the 'Handy Horse- 

 Book' is a manual of driving, riding, and the general care and management 

 of horses, evidently the work of no unskilled hand." — Bell's Life. 



"As cavalry officer, hunting horseman, coach proprietor, whip, and 

 steeplechase rider, the author has had lung and various experience in the 

 management of horses, and he now gives us the cream of his information 

 in a little volume, which will be to horse-keepers and horse-buyers all that 

 the ' Handy Book on Property Law,' by Lord St Leonards, has for years 

 past been to men of business. It does not profess to teach the horse- 

 keeper everything that concerns the beast that is one of the most delicate 

 as well as the noblest of animals; but it supplies him with a number 

 of valuable facts, and puts him iu possession of leading principles."— 

 AthencBum. 



"The writer shows a thorough knowledge of his subject, and he fully 

 carries out the object for which he professes to have undertaken his task — 

 nam el j', to render horse-proprietors independent of the dictations of igno- 

 rant farriers and grooms." — Observer. 



" We need only say that the work is essentially a multum in parvo, and 

 that a book more practically useful, or that was more required, could not 

 have possibly been written." — Irish Times. 



"He propounds no theories, but embodies in simple and untechnical 

 language what he has learned practically; and a perusal of the volume 

 will at once testify that he is fully qualified for the task ; and so skilfully 

 is the matter condensed that there is scarcely a single sentence which does 

 not convey sound and valuable information." — Sporting Gazette. 



" We can cordially recommend it as a book especially suited to the gene- 

 ral public, and not beneath the attention of 'practical men.'" — The Globe. 



"Contains a very great modicum of information in'an exceedingly small 

 space. . . . There can be little doubt that it will, when generally 

 known, become the established vade mecum of the fox-hunter, the country 

 squire, and the trainer." — Army and Navy Gazette. 



"A useful little work. ... In the first part he gives just the 

 amount of information that will enable a man to work his horse comfort- 

 ably, check his groom, and generally know what he is about when riding, 

 driving, or choosing gear."— Spectator. 



" This is a book to be read and re-read by all who take an interest in the 

 noble, animal, as it contains a most comprehensive view of everything ap- 

 pertaining to horse-flesh ; and is. moreover, as fit for the library and draw- 

 ing-room as it is for the mess-table or the harness-room." — Sporting Maga- 

 zine. 



" By all means buy the book ; it will repay the outlay." — Land and Water.
