“We have now before us the pleasing fruit of Captain Brown’s labour and investigation. Setting out with the early history of the horse, and tracing it to the present period, the author next goes through the various breeds, and finally enlivens the whole with the accounts of feats and other memorabilia, which are well calculated to astonish and amuse.”—London Literary Gazette.
“Captain Brown’s work is an entertaining and instructive miscellany. Pleasanter gossip than that of horses we do not know, and richer food for it cannot be found, than in this volume.”—Spectator.
“Those who have any relish for this noble animal—any wish to know its history and habits—will find all they want in Captain Brown’s book. There are nine excellent plates, and nearly 600 pages of letter-press.”—New North Briton.
