Excerpt from Horse-Racing in France: A HistoryIt may be presumptuous for an Englishman to write ahistory of horse-racing in France, but, in extenuation of his presumption, let the Englishman plead that no body else seemed to be inclined to do it, that the French Turf is really but an offshoot of the English, and that the success of French race horses in England or (in the Grand Prix de Paris) against horses taken over to France from England is the only satisfactory measure of the advance made by the French in their horse - racing and horse-breeding. From that point of view this history has been written.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
