Excerpt from Dog Breaking: The Most Expeditious, Certain, and Easy Method; Whether Great Excellence or Only Mediocrity Be Required
A Fourth preface, Mr. Murray!!!
There are not sufficient materials, although there is some fresh matter, and undeniably, many excellent sketches, thanks to the clever artist F. W. Keyl, and the talented amateur John M n, who, contrary to the advice of many friends, has determined that the sword shall be his profession rather than the pencil.
Well! - another party shall speak for me, and much surprised will he be to find the duty his words are performing; but they advocate so good a cause that I feel sure of his forgiveness. He writes in the third person, for we are perfect strangers to each other.
