Wuar figure the Nubian breed would make in point 
of fleetnefs is very doubtful, their make being fo entirely

not, I believe, in the world one more indifferent to, or ig- 
morant of, that.,amufement thanI am. The experiment 
would be worth trying in any view... The expéence would

miflaid. It was a horfe of Shekh Adelan, which with fome 
difficulty I had Tiberty todraw. It was not quite four years 
old, was full 16 hands high:.I-mean this only as an idea; 
1 know the faults of my drawing, and could correét many 
of them; but it is a rule I have invariably adhered to in 
this, as well as in defcription, to correct nothing trom reco].
