Plate IV. 



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

 English Turf,' pubhshed by Virtue & 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 W^ork 

 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. HI, fig. 6, the legs and hoofs do actually assume 

 the position shown in this admirable engraving.
