By Captain THOMAS BROWN, F.L.S. M.R.P.S. M.K.S. &c. &c.
“We have now before us the pleasing fruit of Captain Brown’s labour
and investigation. Setting out with the early history of the horse,
and tracing it to the present period, the author next goes through the
various breeds, and finally enlivens the whole with the accounts of
feats and other memorabilia, which are well calculated to astonish and
amuse.”—_London Literary Gazette._
“Captain Brown’s work is an entertaining and instructive miscellany.
Pleasanter gossip than that of horses we do not know, and richer food
for it cannot be found, than in this volume.”—_Spectator._
“Those who have any relish for this noble animal—any wish to know
its history and habits—will find all they want in Captain Brown’s
book. There are nine excellent plates, and nearly 600 pages of
letter-press.”—_New North Briton._
“With Captain Brown’s delightful volume of ‘Anecdotes of Horses,’ just
issued, every one who crosses a saddle ought to be intimate.”—_Glasgow
Free Press._
_Conversations on Conditioning._
THE GROOM’S ORACLE, AND POCKET STABLE DIRECTORY; in which the
Management of Horses generally, as to Health, Dieting, and Exercise
are considered, in a Series of Familiar Dialogues between two Grooms

Chase and Turf. With an APPENDIX, including the RECEIPT-BOOK of JOHN
HINDS, V.S. Second Edition, considerably improved, embellished with an
elegant Frontispiece, painted by S. Aiken, price 7_s._ cloth.
⁂ This enlarged edition of the “Groom’s Oracle” contains a good number
of new points connected with training prime horses; and the owners
of working cattle, also, will find their profit in consulting the
practical remarks that are applicable to their teams; on the principle
that _health preserved_ is better than _disease removed_.
