The little book, which now makes its bow to the public, has not any pretentious aims. It is not intended as a competitor with the large and serious works which have of late years placed such a fund of valuable information at the disposal of the lover of the equine race. T lze ABC of Me Home merely seeks to render a little help to the man who keeps one, or, it may be two horses for pleasure, and who whilst desirous for the well-being of his animals, has not the time, or perhaps the inclination, to wade through a large and technical volume. I do not for one moment profess to say anything new in the book, but merely to give the owner an opportunity of learning sufficient to prevent a display of ignorance in the presence of the groom he employs, the dealer he may be buying from.
