MISCELLANEOUS. ! 37 



CONCLUSION. 



In fine, taking leave of my readers, I hope they have 

 ere this discovered that in penning the foregoing hints 

 I have been throughout impelled by the hope, slight 

 though it may be, of ameliorating the condition of the 

 noblest animal that God has given to man ; and I shall 

 be amply repaid for the little trouble if my lady and gen- 

 tlemen owners and riders will personally attend to their 

 horses' welfare and comfort. In fact, these remarks are in- 

 tended for all owners of horses ; let them satisfy them- 

 selves, and not trust to the views of the ignorant ; by 

 doing so, great pleasure will accrue to themselves in the 

 use of their horses and a comfortable enjoyment in the 

 reflection that they have not neglected, but, on the con- 

 trary, have endeavored to deal justly by them. 



Very cordially your obedient servant, 



THE HORSE'S FRIEND.
