u "\I7"E are glad to be able to announce to the horsemen of this 



YY county that a good, reliable Stud-Book has been compiled by J. H. Wal- 

 lace, Esq., who has devoted ten years of his time to faithful labor at it. Mr. Wal- 

 lace brings many eminent qualifications to the task. He is a gentleman of high culture 

 and rare tact in discriminating between the true and the false. His order and sys- 

 tem are apparent in every thing he undertakes. In all questions of doubtful or dis- 

 puted pedigrees he has long been the recognized authority, and we heartily con- 

 gratulate the country on the fact that it will gather the fruits of his labor." SPIRIT

Y Y over a thousand pages, will be welcomed as a standard authority on 

 the genealogy of the equestrian peerage of the United States. It records the pedi-

 trotters of distinguished mark, and many of the progenitors and descendants, with 

 all that is known of their blood from the earliest trotting races till the close of 18(56.

 markable for the beauty of its mechanical execution, as well as for the fidelity and 

 thoroughness of its preparation. 11 NEW YORK TRIBUNE. 



6; A N invaluable work which has so long been needed in the 



XJL history of American breeding The body of the work gives 2,821 



pedigrees of horses, which are very wisely numbered, after the example of the 

 English and American Herd Books, occupying 400 pages, and nearly 350 pages filled 

 with the pedigrees of mares. The 'Appendix' embraces about 3,800 named ani- 

 mals. The number contained in the Supplement is over TOO. This volume covers 

 the whole registry of American horses of mark as far as it is now attainable, down to 

 the year 1840, complete, in itself, so that every animal named can be traced through 

 every branch of its pedigree, to the final limit of our present knowledge." CULTI-

JL trotting horse of America, is the most complete publication of the kind

 trotters, finely engraved on steel, forming a very attractive and valuable feature of 

 the work, which will be especially prized by the many admirers of the famous ani- 

 mals herein delineated. The author stands pre-ernim-nt for his ability, experience, 

 and research on the interesting subject on which he treats. The best half of his life, 

 has been bestowed in collecting material for this work, in which labor he has re- 

 ceived the support and assistance of many of the most famous horsemen in the 

 land. 1 " VERMONT FARMER. 



"fpHE author's method of stating a pedigree is exceedingly 



.J- clear and straightforward. To every horse there is appended a number, 

 which becomes a part of his designation wherever his name is mentioned. It will 

 be found complete in itself, as no book outside of it is necessary to trace the pedi- 

 gree of any given animal through all its various ramifications, until you reach its 

 utmost bounds or the British Stud- Book. 11 KURAL WORLD (St. Louis, Mo.)
