Excerpt from The Form of the Horse: As It Lies Open to Inspection of the Ordinary ObserverIn the commencement of the year 1848, I published a number of Letters on the Horse, in the columns of the Londonderry Standard, They attracted the attention of Mr. Shaw, Editor of the London Farmers Magazine, who kindly offered them a place in his valuable and important periodical, provided I would throw them into a connected shape. Before I had time to do so, however, Mr. Shaw was cut off by the hand of death, and I never thought of communicating with his successor on the subject. The substance of these Letters is here produced with numerous additions, in a connected and permanent form. The conciseness and simplicity of this little work must be its chief recommendation. I have intentionally written it in that rough-and-ready style which has the immense advantage of rendering the subject perfectly intelligible to every class of the community.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
