The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 13
Preface
Preface.
In presenting this little pamphlet to the public the Author is actuated by a sincere desire to place before his readers the trials and sufferings the horse has to undergo as he enters on, and during, his useful career; and it is with the hope that some good may spring from the writer's efforts, that he has brought his pencil as well as his pen to bear on the subject.
Trusting that the public will always encourage every endeavour that is made to benefit that noble animal the horse, the writer offers no apology for introducing this little work to the notice of all those who feel any interest in the subject.
To his friend Colonel Biggs, the author here tenders his grateful thanks, for the clever and artistic way in which the gallant Colonel has converted rough sketches into exquisitely finished pictures.
