PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION. 



THE. late Major Dwyer, whose portrait is added to the 

 Illustrations of former editions, held a unique position 

 as an authority on the subject on which he wrote. 

 No work of a similar character has covered the same 

 ground, or diminished the demand for Major Dwyer's 

 " Seats and Saddles," which is now reproduced in a 

 somewhat improved form. 



October, 1886.
