Opinions of the Press. 



" This work will becoine a great favourite with all persons who are con- 

 nectcl with the turf, the chase, and the world of manly sports. It is written 

 in a pleasant, off-hand, dashing manner, and contains "an immense variet.v of 

 information and entertaining matter." WeeklyDispatcli. 



" These lively sketches answer to their title very well. Thev have the 

 proper ease and unaffectedness of table talk, and the thorough sporting know- 

 ledge which should belong to talk of the stable. Wherever Nimrod was wel- 

 come, we think there should be cordial greeting for Harry Hieover. His book 

 is certainly a very clever book of its class, with many instructive hints, as well 

 as much agreeable light-hearted reading." ' Examiner. 



" An amusing and instructive book. With everything connected with horse 

 flesh, the road, the turf, the fair the repository, Harry Hieover is thoroughly 

 familiar ; and his anecdotes of coaching (alas ! that we should write reminis- 

 cences), of racing, of horse-dealing in all its varieties, of hunting and field 

 sports in general, will be read with pleasure by the old sportsman, and may 

 be pursued wMth profit by the young one, if he will take warning from one 

 wideawake." The Times. 



" We spoke favourably of the first volume of this work, and we are enabled 

 to do the same of the second. The author is an old favourite of ours, because 

 he writes sensibly, and does not addle our brains with a confused mass of 

 sporting sentime-italism. Like all men r f true talent, experience, and know, 

 h'dge, he writes dilfidently, and disarms criticism by premising his own de- 

 fects. Will the author be satisfied with our judgment ? Here it is. He has 

 produced a work that warrants higher anticipations than his own, and all 

 readers having common sense, will think it not only ' in some,' but in many 

 parts useful, and in others, not occasionally, but frequently amusing." 



BelUsLiJe in London. 



" The author of these very agreeable volumes is quite a Democritus in his 

 way ; he cannot philosophise without a chuckle, neither can he chuckle with- 

 out philosophising. He is always in excellent humour both with himself and 

 with his subject, and as pleasantry is — thanks to a merciful dispensation \ — 

 as contagious as the potato murrain, his readers are unconsciously infected 

 with the spirit of the cliapters. and resign the book at last on equally excellent 

 terms with themselves, with sporting generally, with ' Stable Talk and Table 

 Talk' in particular, and especially with Harry Hieover himself. Besides 

 being of this well-tempered character, these volumes afford a comprehensive 

 coup d'oeil of the histories and mysteries of everything relating to the turf, the 

 stable, or the road — of everything equine in short." _ Sun.
