OR, The Turn Out. 223 



I purchased a copy of the 2nd edition last year at 21 5., and con- 

 sider two of the many illustrations alone to be worth the money. 

 In fact, the book is in constant reference at my Hippodrome, and 

 I would not part with it for any money. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Yours faithfully, 



J. W. MYERS.

 E. W. GouGH, Esq., Walsall. 

 Dear Sir. 



I have been much pleased in reading a copy of your new 

 work named the " Centaur." 



It contains a large amount of information which cannot help 

 but be very useful. I consider it is carefully written and reflects 

 great credit upon the Author. 



I am certainly surprised with your extensive business engage- 

 ments that you should have been able to give the necessary time 

 and study to get up a work of such magnitude, and in so com- 

 plete a manner. 



I am, Dear Sir, 



Yours truly, 



FREDERICK RAWLINS.

 Mr. Gough. 



Dear Sir, 



I am very much pleased indeed with your work entitled 

 " Centaur." Having had a life experience with horses, I am 

 quite sure the arguments used by you are in every way correct ; 

 in fact, I consider your work a very valuable assistance to any 

 horse proprietor. There is one thing I should strongly suggest, 

 viz., that you should endeavour to make a cheap edition ; by so 

 doing, you would bring it under the notice of many who cannot 

 at present avail themselves of so great an assistance ; and another 

 thing is, should your work get spread, as it most assuredly will 

 at a cheaper rate among the working classes, I feel confident that 

 much good will arise from it, there will be less cruelty exercised, 

 and more affection shown by the different animals for their 

 masters, thereby rendering a great blessing to the sometifnes 

 overworked beast of laden. 



I am, yours truly, 



ALFRED EUGENE COOKE.
