APPENDIX. 



The following are the conditions of sale at 

 Messrs. Tattersall's and other repositories. [I had 

 to apologize to those gentlemen in my first edition, 

 for erroneously spelling their name throughout the 

 work : the error was not discovered till the sheets 

 were worked off. — This explanation has become 

 incidentally of some importance ; for one of your 

 critics, proverbially a good-natured race, has quoted 

 the error, but not the explanation; and quoted it as 

 conclusive evidence of my ignorance of horse-flesh, 

 and all matters relating thereto ! 1 ! The fact is 

 simply, that I employed another hand to copy my 

 manuscript for the press, and entrusted him with the 

 correction of it. I did not discover the mistake 

 till the sheets were worked off, and the type broken 

 up ; I had then no alternative, but to correct it in 

 the Appendix. The error, such as it is, was not 

 found in the concluding sheets.] 



These conditions apply to sales by private con- 

 tract as well as by auction. 



1. The highest bidder to be the buyer; and if any dispute 

 arise between any two or more bidders, the lot so disputed 

 shall be immediately put up again and re-sold.
