398 DRIVING. 



THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DRIVING. 



ON subjects dealing with, or connected with, the horse between 

 four and five thousand books have been written since, circa 

 B.C. 430, Kimon of Athens composed his 'iTTTrotarpiKov 'and 

 'ITTTTOOVCOTTIKW, supposed to be portions of a work 7repl LTTTTLK^. 

 Xenophon's 'iTmap^iKov and 'ITTTTIKT} followed, circa 380, and 

 were first printed in 1516 at Forence. Aristoteles, B.C. 330; 

 Mago of Carthagena ; Varro, B.C. 37 ; Columella, circa A.D. 

 20 ; Plinius Secundus, circa A.D. 50 ; the Emperor Adrian, A.D. 

 120; Sextus Julius Africanus, circa A.D. 220 ; Hippocrates, and 

 others continued the list of treatises on horse lore. The laborious 

 task of collecting the names of books on the horse, together 

 with their authors, the date and place of publication, and so on, 

 was undertaken by Mr. F. H. Huth ; and a large volume con- 

 taining the result of this gentleman's researches was issued in 

 1887. The names of nearly 800 authors are tabulated, and there 

 are 314 large pages, containing on an average descriptions of well 

 over a dozen separate volumes. In comparison with the books 

 on riding, racing, breeding, cavalry and veterinary treatment, 

 the proportion of works on driving is somewhat small. The 

 following list omits few, if any, which are of importance. For 

 information as to some of the foreign treatises the compiler 

 of this bibliography is indebted to Mr. Huth's book.
