SEATS AND SADDLES,
Bits and Bitting, Draught and Harness, and the Prevention and Cure of
Restiveness in Horses. By Major FRANCIS DWYER.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE NEW EDITION.
~Bell’s Life~ says:--“The work which Major Dwyer has so successfully
carried through the press in two former editions is, for the third
time, presented to the public in a new and enlarged form. In all the
details of horse management the author is perfectly at home, and the
practical way in which he deals with his subject cannot fail to be
appreciated by equestrians or those who keep studs. The first portion
of the volume is devoted to a lengthy dissertation on the all-important
subject of Seats and Saddles. These chapters afford much valuable
information gained by a careful study, not only of the framework of
the animal considered from a mechanical point of view, but also of the
influence of the saddle in its relation to the seat of the rider.... We
assure our readers that the whole contents of the book are well worth
perusal. It may be well, however, to mention that the question of bits
and bitting is thoroughly considered, while Part III. is taken up with
remarks on the true principles which should be observed in matters of
draught and harness. The concluding portion of the book deals with that
worst of all vices in the horse, restiveness, its prevention and cure.”
The ~Saturday Review~ says:--“It is a book which we should recommend to
the notice of young cavalry officers.”

THE LIVING EPISTLE;
Or, The Influence of Christian Character.
The ~Christian~ says:--“Unflinching in its loyalty to the highest of
all standards, simple in its delineation of what Christian character
should be, earnest in its appeals to the heart and to common sense,
this little book brings to its readers a draught of clear, pure air,
and ought to send them on their way invigorated and quickened in their
desires after holiness.”
