pushed too far ; but on these and similar points I 

 will refer my reader to the subsequent pages for 

 more satisfactory explanation. Much of the trouble 

 and vexation which are occasioned by the tricks 

 which I have described in this and my earlier 

 chapters, will be saved by purchasing through 

 the Horse and Carriage Registry, as it affords a 

 purchaser security that he will be dealing with 

 parties whose real addresses have been given, and 

 whose characters are probably known at the office. 

 No man would pay five shillings to enter his horse 

 with a false address, as in that case he could not 

 possibly hear of a customer, and would be use- 

 lessly throwing away his money. The horses of a 

 man well known to be a regular chaunter, will of 

 course not be registered at all, for any price ; for 

 this would endanger the success of the Registry 

 itself, by diminishing the confidence of pur- 

 chasers. I consider this one of the most useful 

 ends to be gained by this new establishment.
