BY JOHNSTON & COATES, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PKINTED BY Jos. "WiNTERBUBN & COMPANY, 417 Clay Street, San Francisco, Cal. PREFACE I believe that it may be asserted, without fear of con- tradiction, that no book has yet been published in the English or any other language, which even professes to give a complete description of breeding, breaking, train- ing and educating the Trotting Horse in a form and style suited to the country gentlemen of the nineteenth cen- tury. It is true that some of these departments are described, but very imperfectly, in separate works; but they are generally written in technical language, suited rather for the professional student than for the use and comprehension of the ordinary reader. For these rea- sons the author of this work has thought that a book combining the above subjects, and confined strictly to those subjects, treated in a practical manner, and in a style popularly intelligible, would supply a deficiency which has long been complained of by all who are in- terested in the proper production and management of the Trotting Horse.
