 the present time, I would add a few words to the 

 reader who may have kindly followed me through 

 the scenes I have recorded. In what I have 

 written one object has been to show the strong 

 and unqualified endorsement my system of 

 equine education has everywhere received from

 while, at the same time, the narrative is a fitting, 

 and I hope not an uninteresting, introduction to

 unvarying kindness he has received from his 

 patrons in all portions of the land, the author 

 begs leave to respectfully dedicate this work to 

 those whose aid, appreciation and friendship 

 have so often cheered him in his efforts.
