150 Indian Racing Reminiscences. 



weary burning days, and having neither horses nor 

 regimental work to occupy my time, I thought I might 

 amuse myself by writing a book on " Training and 

 Horse Management in India," with the off chance of 

 its paying its expenses. In the first edition I expressed 

 myself badly, but I had something new to tell. As 

 the reading public was indulgent, I did better the next 

 time. I went home to study at the New Veterinary 

 College, and I have, I believe, committed to print almost 

 every useful hint about horses I have ever acquired. 

 Although that book I wrote in the Circuit Bungalow 

 at Mozufferpore has now been before the public for 

 eight years, it has, up to the present, been a steady 

 income to me. I am glad to say that my other books 

 have also turned out well.
