 don : Longmans, Green & Co. 1876. Large 

 8vo, 403 pages. (An interesting book on Four- 

 horse Driving, and especially valuable as contain- 

 ing (pp. 177-387) a reprint of Essays on the Road, 

 by 'Nimrod') [Charles J. Apperlev], first pub- 

 lished in The Sporting Magazine, London ; Vols, 

 ix. to xx. New Series ; the first in 1822, the last 

 in 1827. These Essays are particularly inter- 

 esting because they were written by a practical 

 coaching man at the time when public coaching 

 was at its best in England. A coachino- man 

 should study them with care, and cannot fail to 

 learn much from them. A large portion of the 

 Chapter on ' Driving' in Walker's Manly Exer- 

 cises is taken from these Essays. An admirable 

 Glossary of Terms of the Road is appended to 

 Malet' s volume.)
