PLATE IV. 



Reproduction from Mr. Theodore A. Cook's book, ' A History of the 

 English Turf,' published by Virtue and Co., of an engraving in 

 the Duke of Newcastle's book, dated 1667, with the title, ' A New 

 Method and Extraordinary Invention to Dress Horses and Work 

 them according to Nature.' The horse in this picture is repre- 

 sented with the hoofs of the hind-legs up-turned as in the pose 

 of the flying gallop introduced by Stubbs a hundred and twenty 

 years later. The horse is, however, in this picture not supposed 

 to be " galloping," but is " jumping," and in that action, as 

 shown in PI. Ill, fig. 6, the legs and hoofs do actually assume 

 the position shown in this admirable engraving.
