First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. 9 3/8" X 6". xi, [v], 480pp, plus ad for carriages. Bound in mauve cloth over bevelled boards, decorated in blind to both boards, with horses and lettering in gilt to upper board and spine. Very heavy wear to binding, with tears along edges of spine, heavy scattered rubbing and mottling to cloth, tears to bumped corners, rubbing and bumping to edges and extremities, and losses to head and tail of spine. Cracking front hinge and shaken text block have been reinforced with archival adhesive and are now quite firm and sound. Several center gatherings proud. Light foxing and toning to pages throughout, heaviest at tissue-guards and plates, else unmarked. An admittedly worn but overall sound 1873 first edition of this comprehensive review for the care and keeping of "the most noble and useful of domestic animals,--the horse," with an introduction by Henry Ward Beecher and a treatise on "Agriculture and the Horse" by Hon. George B. Loring, fully illustrated throughout with 14 tissue-guarded plates of the best trotting stock-horses in the United States, with their pedigrees, records, and full descriptions.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Lovely 1873 1st edition hardcover in original pictorial rust cloth with gilt lettering and illustrations on spine and top cover, illustrated frontispiece and fourteen black and white plates, 480pp. Spine cracks, joints a bit wobbly, light color loss at beveled edges but no rub through, moderate foxing on preliminaries, on art plates & tissues and occasionally in the text, yet this is the nicest copy we've seen in 25+ years of bookselling. Dedicated to Ulysses S. Grant, this work offers a comprehensive review of the care of the domestic horse. The book also includes an introduction by Henry Ward Beecher and a treatise on "Agriculture and the Horse" by George B. Loring.
