TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. 



The author's introduction to his " Method 

 of Horsemanship" is omitted in this edition, 

 because it contains much that would be un- 

 interesting to the American reader. It men- 

 tions the great difficulties he encountered in 

 attracting the attention of the public to his 

 system, and the complete success with which 

 it was crowned when once this attention 

 was attracted.* One paragraph from it, 



* The following fact will prove the great popularity of 

 the work : The first edition was published in 1842 ; in 

 the first year, two editions were published, and since then 

 seven more, making nine editions in eight years. — Trans.
