Agr 7–2179.
Eclipse is a horse that has won repeated race-course honors, and O’Kelly is his owner. Everything is set down “that could possibly be found out concerning Eclipse, his ancestors, his birth and education, his achievements, his appearance and measurements, the fate of his skin and his hoofs and his skeleton, his descendants and what they in turn have accomplished.” (Acad.)
“The book is a monument of thoroughness—also of energy.” G. S. Street.

“We must not hunt for small inaccuracies in a big book. Let us rather acknowledge frankly that the compiler has put together a standard work of reference concerning the subject.”
