“Another book which will appeal to all who are interested in horses is the capital little volume called ‘Hints on Driving,’ by Capt. Morley Knight, R.A. Captain Knight has nothing to do with history or anecdote; his work is entirely practical. Doubtless there are other books on the subject, but none within our knowledge is more clear or complete in the instructions given for driving in single or double harness, and, above all, for the more difficult mysteries of four-in-hand or tandem driving. The utility of the volume is much increased by the accurate vignette illustrations of hands holding reins, etc., made by G. H. A. White, Royal Artillery.”
“Captain Knight is the author of a thoroughly practical book entitled ‘Hints on Driving,’ which he dedicates to Major-General Albert Williams.”—Morning Post.
“There are perhaps few greater masters of the detail of the art than the author.”—The Sportsman.
“One conspicuous and excellent feature is that it takes nothing for granted, etc. Altogether this little volume is a capital manual of its kind.”—Glasgow Herald.
“It is simple, practical, and instructive. So far as the delicate art of handling the ribbons can be taught by a book, this book succeeds to the best effect in teaching it.”—Scotsman.
“Any who are deficient or novices in the art of driving—and it is an art—will do well to inwardly digest the contents of a capital volume by Captain Knight, R. A., whose practical advice, down to the veriest minutiæ, will work wonders in a short space.”—Sporting Life.
“Captain Knight has done as much as anyone could do to place before his readers the more or less accepted canons of driving. The book costs but little money, and anyone who wants to drive properly would do well to invest his 3s. 6d., and commit to memory some of the principal rules.”—The Field.
“A very businesslike and pleasant little book it is. Captain M. Knight’s little book will be found far more serviceable than the big work on Driving in the ‘Badminton Library.’ The book is provided with copious illustrations and diagrams.”—National Observer.
“The advice and details afforded by Captain Knight are about as succinct, clear, and reliable as those which any pupil can desire to acquire.”—The Road.
“We have come to the conclusion that the author has accomplished his design with no little success, and that anyone who desires to drive properly would be well advised to study Capt. Knight’s pages attentively before spending much money in driving lessons.”—Baily’s Magazine.
