OF ANIMATIONS, SOOTHINGS, AND COR- 

 RECTIONS. 



Section I. — Of Animations. 



Animations are requisitions of more exer- 

 tion, life, and spirit, and proceed from the 

 hand, the leg, the whip, or the tongue. 



Those of the hand and of the legs have 

 been already described among the aids. 



Animations of the whip are mild taps to 

 quicken the horse ; or, if the lash is upwards, 

 switching it in the air. This has a gay ap- 

 pearance, as well as effect, if not too often 

 repeated, or continued too long. 



The animations of the legs and whip, are 

 menaces which indicate a punishment, if not 

 attended to.
