Saddle and song; a collection of verses made at Warrenton, Va., during the winter of 1904-1905. [**]$1.50. Lippincott.
An anthology of verses written about the horse, including selections from Browning, Byron, Bayard Taylor, Scott, Kipling, Longfellow, Kingsley, Quiller-Couch, and others. “No claim is made to have exhausted the literature of the English language upon this subject, but it is hoped that a sufficient variety, in respect to the types of horses and the tasks accomplished by them, has been offered to enable those who may read, each to find some horse to his liking or the story of some gallant effort that must command his admiration.”
