When one man can send into the sales ring a consignment of over three hundred yearlings and sell them at auction for something in excess of an average of $800, it is time for other breeders to wake up and begin to study the science of breeding as he has done. Most men are willing to pay a big price for a stallion, without grumbling, but when it comes to purchasing a really good mare, and the daughter of a great producing matron at that, for $1500 or $2000, they button up their breeches' pockets and say "Nay" to the man who has the mare to sell. It is high time for other men to follow the lead of Messrs. Belmont, Haggin, Keene, Camden and such men who see the necessity of excellence in both sexes. Just twelve years ago, Col. Sanders D. Bruce, editor of the Turf . Field and Farm, issued a book entitled "The Thoroughbred Horse," which he modeled very largely upon the "Breeders' Hand Book," published by Mr. Joseph Osborne in England. Both those books were well written but badly edited. Mr. Bruce carried you back to the days of Waxy and Sir Peter and without any other intermission, dropped you down on the back of some old short-bred Kentucky mare like Picayune or Minerva Anderson, neither of which should ever have found a place in the American Stud Book^ save in an appendix. Now, don't understand me as seeking to elevate my own work by belittling a dead friend. Col. Bruce's services to his country were signal and varied. He probably did as much as any other man, living or dead, to keep his native State (Kentucky) from going out of the Federal Union ; and his Stud Book, which was the work of almost thirty years continuously, while it has its imperfections, was so far in advance of my expectations and of the expectations of others of his friends, that he deserves the high- est praise for it. With his steadfast work to bring order out of chaos, the labors of' his successors in that field have been comparatively easy. But the editorial portion of "The Thoroughbred Horse" was carelessly put together, no matter how well written ; and the same is true equally of Mr. Joseph Osborne's book, for in both cases the reader has to go through the whole editorial portion of the book in order to find what he wants to know concerning any given horse or family of horses. I have endeavored to remedy that defect by a classification of the subject matter involved in these pages. I devote one chapter to the "Origin of the Thoroughbred" and deal chiefly with the three great lines which have survived all others—the Godolphin Arabian, the Darley Arabian and the Byerly Turk. If anybody wants the details of importation of Oriental horses into England, up to and including the reign of good Queen Anne, I must refer him to the works of Mr. Osborne and Col. Bruce, as giving details more minute than I could hope to embrace in this little book. The student of breeding cares nothing in this day for the fact that the Godolphin Arabian's great lo Preface. reputation grew out of Hobgoblin's refusal to cover Roxana. What he wants is facts and figures embracing the present day and date. The mere fact that Catton and Emilius were two of the best and most successful stallions between 1820 and 1840, has no bear- ing upon modern breeding because the male lines of those two once-famous sires are now wholly extinct, while that of the despised and calumniated Blacklock— in that era at least—is now at the head of the British turf, through St. Simon and his sons, two of which have already headed the list of winning sires though less than twelve years old. Hence my only endeavors have been to bring this book down to date and modern- ize its contents so far as practicable. The great world is in a great hurry just now, and has but little time to devote to the perusal of ancient history. So I deal with horses of the last sixty years as much as possible, referring the reader to the works of Col. Bruce for the old days in Virginia; and to Mr. Osborne's work for the ancient occurrences on the turf in England and Ireland. They were both better writers than 1 am and had more extensive libraries upon which to draw for information. Hence I make no claim for any great amount of originality in this book, but I can claim truth- fully that its .construction is more orderly and methodical than that of any book that has yet been published on this subject, either in America or in Europe. I naturally expected to make some money out of this book, but fear that 1 shall not have $1000 left after paying all the bills. 1 have received no support from Ken- tucky whatever and none of any extent except from Californians, counting ]\lr. James R. Keene as one. Col. S. D. Bruce's book contained advertisements of 94 stallions of which 68 were owned in Kentucky. In this book there is just one Kentucky stallion owned by a bona fide resident of that State. The truth is, that I am suffering for an- other party's misdeeds. In igo2 a canvass was made for a book to be called ''The History of the Horse," to be published from the office of the New York Spirit of the Times. The brothers Le Berthon got about $42,000 worth of contracts on that book for which they were to receive 50' per cent, as commission. On this amount some $16,000 was paid in checks and turned over to the manager of the Spirit of the Times, who deposited them in the bank to his personal account and drew checks against it to pay the Le Berthons their commissions. No book ever has appeared nor ever will. The manager of the concern got away with a nice little stake and now, when I come to print a book that is needed, I get the frozen lip from men to whose interests I am doing an actual service. Mr. John Le Berthon lives in this city and is respected as a straight and upright man wherever he is known. I would risk my life on his honesty as I have known him nearlv twenty years. He is in no way to blame for the non-appearance of the ''History of the Horse." He did his work and got his pay for it, as was right. The other party who received the checks of Messrs. Whitney, Mackay, Belmont and others, and gave no value in return, is in pretty big luck to be at large and master of his own actions. I have tried also to offend nobody while endeavoring to write impartially and in a spirit of honest criticism. As to what appears in the "Breeders' Hand Book" portion of this work, that is advertising pure and simple ; and the opinions concerning horses published therein are those of their owners and not of myself. Hence I cannot, in any spirit of fairness be held responsible for anything that appears in that part of my work. In the editorial portion of it, ranging from Chapter I to Chapter X, the opinions advanced are all my own and upon them I am ready to stand or fall, in the full belief that the right to applaud carries with it the right to censure as well. I seek to quarrel with no other man's opinions but will endeavor, as far as possible, to have my own respected. And to achieve that end I feel that I must write in a spirit of candor and justice, so that when the end comes to me as it does to all men, those who survive me may remember the injunction of the Moor and ".speak me fair in death —nothing extenuate nor set down aught in malice." P r e f a c e ii The reader who expects to find any such glowing pen-pictures in this book as are to be found in Mr.

Présenté par Françoise Goulet-Pelletier A été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes Isabelle Raynauld Directrice de recherche Marta Boni Membre du jury Stéfany Boisvert Membre du jury iii Résumé Le mouvement social #Metoo a bouleversé les mœurs et les façons de penser quant aux enjeux liés au harcèlement sexuel et aux abus sexuels. En effet, en automne 2017, une vague de dénonciations déferle sur la place publique et peu à peu, les frontières de ce qui est acceptable ou pas semblent se redéfinir au sein de plusieurs sociétés. En partant de cette constatation sociétale, nous avons cru remarquer une reprise des enjeux entourant le mouvement social #Metoo dans les séries télévisées américaines de fiction. Ce mémoire souhaite illustrer et analyser l’évolution des représentations des crimes sexuels et du harcèlement sexuel inspirée par le mouvement #Metoo. En reprenant les grandes lignes de ce mouvement, cette étude s’attarde sur son impact sur la société nord-américaine.

Digitized by tine Internet Arciiive in 2009 witii funding from Lyrasis IVIembers and Sloan Foundation http://www.archive.org/details/generalstudbookc02fair THE GENERAL STUD BOOK VOL. II. : THE deiterol STUD BOOK, CONTAINING PEDIGREES OF RACE HORSES, &C. &-C. From the earliest Accounts to the Year 1831. inclusice. ITS FOUR VOLUMES. VOL. II. 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.
