 of soundness and unsoundness, and the laws relating to sale 

 and warranty, with copious directions for discovering un-

*' This iManual, though of small size, is far from being of 

 small value, and cannot fail to be useful not only to farmers, 

 innkeepers, and others engaged in posting, but also to every 

 one who may have occasion to purchase a useful and ser- 

 viceable horse. If a person make himself master of the 

 maxims it contains he will be fully prepared to select a 

 sound animal, as well as to detect and prevent the imposi- 

 tion of ordinary horse-dealers. It also contAins an expose 

 of the laws relating to sale and warranty of horses, which 

 cannot be too well known, because to borrow the motto of 

 the work, ' the buyer hath need of a hundred eyes, but the 

 seller of only one.'" — Stirling Journal.
