Opinions of the Press on the New Edition.
Bell’s Life says:—“The work which Major Dwyer has so successfully carried through the press in two former editions is, for the third time, presented to the public in a new and enlarged form. In all the details of horse management the author is perfectly at home, and the practical way in which he deals with his subject cannot fail to be appreciated by equestrians or those who keep studs. The first portion of the volume is devoted to a lengthy dissertation on the all-important subject of Seats and Saddles. These chapters afford much valuable information gained by a careful study, not only of the framework of the animal considered from a mechanical point of view, but also of the influence of the saddle in its relation to the seat of the rider.... We assure our readers that the whole contents of the book are well worth perusal. It may be well, however, to mention that the question of bits and bitting is thoroughly considered, while Part III. is taken up with remarks on the true principles which should be observed in matters of draught and harness. The concluding portion of the book deals with that worst of all vices in the horse, restiveness, its prevention and cure.”
The Saturday Review says:—“It is a book which we should recommend to the notice of young cavalry officers.”

THE LIVING EPISTLE;
Or, The Influence of Christian Character.
The Christian says:—“Unflinching in its loyalty to the highest of all standards, simple in its delineation of what Christian character should be, earnest in its appeals to the heart and to common sense, this little book brings to its readers a draught of clear, pure air, and ought to send them on their way invigorated and quickened in their desires after holiness.”
The Freeman says:—“A really ingenious and beautiful exposition of the inspired description of Christian life. The volume is from the pen of the late Dr. Jenkyn, formerly of Coward College, and is worthy of a place by the side of other works we owe him.”
