110 HISTORY OF THE 



On the 23rd of January, 1810, died Mr. Edward 

 Tattersall, of Hyde Park-corner, the father of the 

 two gentlemen so well known as the present proprie- 

 tors of the most extensive and profitable business in 

 horses, in the kingdom, and in which they succeeded 

 him. His father, Edmond Tattersall, who founded 

 the famous horse-repository that bears his name, 

 died in 1795, as will be seen by reference to 

 another part of this work, in which we have given 

 a description of this well-known establishment, 

 with a brief history of its founder. 



On the 8th of September, Thomas Field, the

 years. He was considered an excellent rider and 

 trainer in his time, in which capacities he had been 

 employed by Sir L. Dundas ; Sir W. Vavasour ; 

 Sir Thomas Gascoigne ; Sir H. T. Pane, &c, Barts. ; 

 and Messrs. Wentworth, Cornforth, Wetherill, 

 Shafto, &c.
