Présentation de l'éditeur
Jfoo PREFACE. A QUARTER of a centurys experience in writing technical books on horses proves to me that the reading public, which becomes better educated every day, values opinions only when they are supported by valid reasons. Therefore, while giving full prominence to practical details, I have tried to explain their principles in a scientific manner, and have been greatly helped in this endeavour by many eminent authorities whose names I have mentioned in the text of this book. Without their valuable and kindly assistance and advice, it would have been impossible for me to have obtained all, or even the most part, of the information of which I was in search. I am much obliged toM essrs. Sutton andS ons for the grasses and clovers, of which I have taken photographs; toM essrs. Champion and Wilton and Mr. T. U. Clarke for help about saddlery and harness; and toM r. Arthur Richards for notes on the cleaning of carriages and gear, and on stable servants. A large portion of this work appeared in articles which I wrote for theL iveS tock Journal. I have had thus the advantage of seeing them in print and rewriting them before putting them into book form. Yew Tree House Crick Rugby, ist July,
