Opinions of the Press. 



" A book which all purchasers and sellers, and lovers of hor=es. will read or 

 should read." Carlisle Patriot. 



" ' The Pocket and the Stud' — a small book with great information, has 

 all the advantages of appearing before the public in excellent form. Se'dom 

 have we witne?sed so agreeable a turn out. May it run through several 

 editions, no matter how swiftly ; for in this instance, it will not be the pace 

 that Dills." Sportiug Magazine. 



" A most interesting and useful ittle volume, full of detail and anecdote, on 

 the chf-apest and most efficient methods of stable management The pur- 

 chase of a horse, the arrangements of his house, his food and general economy 

 of the su ject, are here all discussed by one who speaks with all the conK- 

 dence of ample experience." Gardeners^ Chronicle. 



" We have done enough, we hone, to recommend this writer's octavos to 

 such lovers of horses and hunting as have not chanced to encounter ttiein ; his 

 new duodecimo to all who desire to consult the interest of their purse in the 

 arrangements of their stable. Few books are so sure to save large amounts of 

 £ s. d. to those who duly study their precepts as ' Pocket and the .*^tud' of 

 Mr. Hieover." duarterly Review. 



" With respect to the treatment of horses generally, the work contains some 

 excellent advice. The author has evidently had much experience in the 

 matter, and the hint* and suggestions which he gives, are first-rate. We 

 shou d recommend all who have anything to do with the management of 

 horses to con over the pages of the ' Pocket and the Stud,' a d to attend to 

 the advice therein contained." Sunday Times. 



" We think no man, however extensive his practice in matters contained in 

 this work, can read it without obtaining additional information, and we are 

 perfectly sure that it will prov-^ of great servi< e to the man of the owners of 

 horses, be they huiiters, carriage horses, rofidsters, or park chevaux de parade. 

 These subjects are dealt with in minute detail, with great ability, and in that 

 easy and pleasant style exhibited by the author in his ' Stable Ta k and 

 Table Talk.' " Beirs Life. 



" Very few persons have had such opportunities as the author, for becoming 

 intimately acquainted with the management of every description of horse. 

 The author is no theorist ; but a man of very long and varied experience 

 touching stables and their quadruped inhabitants. Respecting hordes for the 

 hunting field, the road, the p irks, the street, and every kind of equipage, the 

 author is a first-rate judge ; and in purchasing such animals, treating, lodging, 

 feeding them, we know of no writer whose advice it would be safer to follow 

 The book is portable, cheap, and pleasantly and candidly written." Observer.
