Excerpt from Driving Lessons
It is a luxurious pleasure, perhaps, to display one of these turnouts, but it is surely an elegant pastime. In order to practice this sport in perfection, you should be possessed of many qualities that can not be acquired by money alone, and one cannot arrive at correctness or perfection unless possessed of much tact and savoir faire. Once the tools are organized, the coach built according to the best and most sensible principles, and four well matched horses with good action have been selected; then' the/owner must learn how to drive them properly, for it is not good form to be driven on a coach by one's coachman.
