'* We have now before us the pleasing fruit of Captain Brown's labour 

 and investigation. Setting out with the early history of the horse, and 

 tracing it to the present period, the author next goes through the various 

 breeds, and finally enlivens the whole with the accounts of feats and 

 other memorabilia, which are well calculated to astonish and amuse." 

 London Literary Gazette. 



" Captain Brown's work is an entertaining and instructive miscellany. 

 Pleasanter gossip than that of horses we do not know, and richer food 

 for it cannot be found, than in this volume." Spectator. 



l< Those who have any relish for this noble animal any wish to know 

 its history and habits will find all they want in Captain Brown's book. 

 There are nine excellent plates, and nearly 600 pages of letter-press."
