i6 HORSE 



HORSES. 



YORKSHIRE has long been celebrated 

 for its horics. Fitzbcrbert, who wrote two 

 hundred and fifty years ago, mentions his 

 going to Rippon fair to buy colts. 



The influence of cHmatur'e on the conjlitu- 

 tion, or changeable part of the nature of ani- 

 mals, is a matter difficult to. be demon (If at- 

 ed. There are men who deny it. Never- 

 thelefs, ftrong evidences of its exigence maiy 

 be drawn from the animal under condera- 

 tion. 



No man has yet been able to breed Ara- 

 bian horfcs in England ; Englifh horics iri 

 France or Germany ; nor Yorkihire horfes 

 in any other DiftricT: of England. Some 

 good horfes j no doubt, are bred every year 

 in different parts of the kingdom ; but they 

 are few in proportion to the number of bad 

 ones bied in thofe parts.
