Excerpt from The Horse: His Beauties and Defects
BY a detailed series of graphic and descriptive illustrations, it is the intention of the Author of this Work to show. The good and bad points in that most noble and useful animal, the Horse. He has adopted the mode of detaching the various parts of the subject, because, by a comparison of the distinct appearances, the general impression upon the memory of the reader is likely to be much stronger than could result from the study of any treatise of a less abstracted nature to understand which, a knowledge of anatomy, or a constant reference to some scientific work is indispensable.
There is no animal whose countenance combines such correct and powerful expressions of character. The physiognomy of the Horse, therefore, illustrating the different passions to which he is subject, as well as the natural bias of his temper and disposition, is an important branch of study to breeders, country gentlemen, and to inexperienced purchasers for it is generally considered, that the disposition and temper of the animal is an object of more consequence to timid riders and drivers than any slight bodily blemish.
