^ -THE lover of horses will find a rich treat in Simpson's Horse 



A Portraiture. The volume illustrates one of the great secrets of success- 

 ful authorship the possession of a familiar practical knowledge of the subject in 

 hand and the command of apt language for its communication. Every page is alive 

 with the genuine odor of horsetlesh, and its glowing reality gives an interest even 

 to its most technical details." N. Y. TRIBUNE. 



** rpHE author is a thoroughly practical gentleman and one who 



-L wields a graceful and ready pen. The work is free from uncouth expres- 

 sions, practical ideas being clothed in ornate language. It is published in excellent 

 style, and we regard it as the most valuable work on the breeding, rearing, and train- 

 ing of trotters ever presented to the American public." TURF, FIELD^AND FARM 



^ TT is hard to tell what the book does not contain which is. 



JL cognate to the subject under discussion. It is eminently thorough, and 

 must prove a godsend to amateur horse-breeders, while it offers new suggestions 

 to the experienced trainer." N. Y. CITIZEN, (Robt. B. Kosevelt, Esq.) 



** HPHIS really valuable book is sure to receive a cordial recep- 



JL tion. The author is an enthusiastic admirer of the horse and gives de- 

 scriptions of the most noted animals of this country. The chief value, however 

 of this book is the practical information which it contains." BOSTON JOURNAL. 



" "H7E should think that this volume would be indispensable 



Vl to the horsemen of America. Asa companion volume to the splendid 

 wo"k produced by the same publishers Wallace's American Stud Book, this volume 

 might be classed. In its mechanical qualities of printing, paper, and binding it is 

 creditable and would adorn any library." N. Y. HERALD. 



^ FTS author is a gentleman of large experience with trotting 



1. horses. That experience in breeding, raising, feeding, driving, sweating, 

 training, &c,, he has conveyed through this book to the public in a most spirited 

 and attractive style. One can not commence reading the work without wanting to 

 finish it. Every page abounds in instruction, and yet it is conveyed in so interest- 

 ing a manner that it is a pleasure instead of a labor to acquire it." KURAL WORLD.
