IN CONFORMITY WITH THE INTENTION AND DIRECTION OF THE AUTHOR, AND MUCH TO THE GRiVTIFICATION OF THE EDITOR, THIS WORK. IS, BY PERMISSION, RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO ROBERT BONNER, ESQ, BY WHOM ITS COMPOSITION WAS FIRST SUGGESTED. EDITOR'S PREFACE. THE composition of this work was first suggested by Mr. Robert Bonner, who fully appreciated the original views and vast experience of Hiram Woodruff in all matters pertaining to the art of training and driving the trotting-horse. At the earnest solicitation of Mr. George Wilkes (the editor of " The Spirit of the Times "), and of some other of his fri ends, Hiram agreed to undertake it. They believed, and their arguments induced him to believe, that such a work from him would be a public benefit to the owners of horses, and a service to the horse himself. From the nature of the avocations to which he had devoted himself with unparalleled success for forty years, Hiram Woodruff was not a ready penman ; and therefore it was not until the writer of this introduc- tory preface had promised to act as his amanuensis, and to edit the work, that he consented to go on with it. Its reception, when some chapters had been pub- lished, was such as to establish its value; and all those who had been long acquainted with the author clearly VI EDITOR'S PREFACE. recognized his strong, original turn of thought, and painstaking anxiety to make it eminently practical and usefuh During its composition, there were some de- lays caused by the great application necessary on the part of the author to his business as trainer and driver of horses. He had sometimes as many as twenty in his charge ; and he felt that at such periods he could not, with justice to the work itself and to them, continue its composition. To suggestions that the public was eager for the book, and wanted it completed early, he commonly replied that he wanted it completed well. There was, he said, no more reason for hurrying out this, his only work, than there would be in his hurrying on the edu- cation of a horse that he deemed certain to make a trotter. He was no believer in the " forcing " pro- cess, and always contended that the book would be all the better for the extra time he had resolved to devote to it. Nothing could exceed his anxiety to avoid any thing that by misapplication might be mis- chievous. He was eminently a man of clear, strong views, and of few, terse words. Many of the most valuable and well-tried conclusions of his genius and experience will be found set down in his literal words in a very few lines. I have never met with a man who was so quick and direct in coming at the kernel of a question, and who threw away the husk and shell so promptly as utterly worthless. Just before his last illness, the materials for the com EDITOR'S PREFACE. VU pletion of the book were all arranged, and I received his directions to that end. During the progress of the work, I had some hundreds of interviews with him, during which he dictated the matter now presented to the reader in this volume. It was his custom to read carefully every chapter as it appeared in " The Spirit of the Times," and he gave a few directions for emendations. These have been strictly followed. His memory was marvellous, not only of events, but of the little details connected with them; and he had such a graphic way of describing matters and things, that his hearers and his readers were carried to the scene and time, and virtually made spectators of the things themselves. He was utterly intolerant of quackery in any shape ; and his readers may rely upon it that the only way to develop the gifts and capabilities of the trotting-horse is to employ those elements which Hiram Woodruff brought to the composition of this work, — judgment, conscientious painstaking to be right, and much perseverance.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.
