Opinions of Leading Journals. 



'■ We have examined this valuable and very interesting work, and can say with truth 

 that no time or money has been spared to make it complete in all its departments. The 

 l>cst authorities in the world have been consulted; and Mr. Herbert has been materially 

 assisted by several of our old and well-known correspondents."" — Spirit of the Times, 



"This splendid work, in its typographical and artistic execution, is everything that 

 could be desired. The paper is sumptuous, the printing faultless, the engravings ex- 

 quisite, and the contents not unworthy of the beautiful dress in which it appears. The 

 author may, in fact, be said to have exhausted a subject which has hitherto been nrg- 

 lected ; for no work on the American Horse, at all approaching this in comprehensive- 

 ness and ability, has yet been produced. It must become at once a standard authority on 

 the subject."—" New England Farmer. 



'■This work, in fullness of matter, in methodical arrangment, in facilities of reference, 

 surpasses any publication of a similar character which has yet been brought out. The 

 subscription for the work has been unprecedentedly larsre, 2,500 copies having been dis- 

 posed of before publication. It fully realizes the anticipations formed of it. and will for 

 the future be the Standard book of reference on all matters connected with the American 

 turf."— Neto York Herald. 



•"More than fifty different authorities have been consulted and used in the prepara- 

 tion of the work, and the author has gone thoroughly into every detail connected with 

 the American Horse, his history, progress, uses, and triumphs. Nothing comparable to 

 the work on the Horse of America has ever been issned; and, in point of elaboration, at- 

 tention to details, and general thoroughness, it is said to surpass anything of a similar 

 kind ever produced in Europe." — The Boston Post.
