Book Description
Excerpt from Horse Stories The volume of which this page is the fore-word, may be regarded as a sequel Of Dog Stories and Dog Lore. The favor shown to that work, by press and public, has induced the author to undertake the preparation of a book in which the horse should have a leading place, and the lessons Of kindness and intelligent control which were taught in Dog Stories, have been repeated in its successor. Those who wish to be informed concerning the treatment of horses in health and disease, and the proper arrangement of their stables, will be interested in the contents of this work. The author has gathered, from many sources, a considerable number Of anecdotes illustrating the intelligence, memory, affection and fidelity Of the horse, and these anecdotes will be read with pleasure by all lovers of the noble animal. But the book is not confined to the horse. Several chapters are devoted to cats, monkeys, elephants, and other members of the king dom Of quadrupeds, and the plan of illustrating their intelligence by numerous anecdotes has been followed throughout. Many Of these anecdotes, as well as those relating to the horse, are now, for the first time, given to the public in the pages of a bound volume, and there is a goodly number which have never before been in print in any form.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Horse and His Ways: Stories of Man and His Best Friend It is asserted that horses with a broad after head, and the ears far asunder, are naturally bolder than those whose head is narrow above the forelock. This assertion is in all prob ability correct, for there is no reason why cerebral development should not influence the character of a horse as well as that of a man; but much, of course, depends upon judicious training. Some horses, says an intelligent writer on the subject, habituated to war, will drop their head, pick at grass in the midst of fire, smoke, and the roar of cannon; others never entirely cast Off their natural timidity. We have witnessed them groaning, he continues, or endeavouring to lie down when they found escape impossible, at the fearful sound of shot.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wonder-Book of Horses The old charioteer always slept soundly in the morning, and seldom awoke until he heard his young sister, the maiden whom men call Aurora, rapping at the door of his bedroom, and making her voice echo through the halls of the Dawn. Up, up, brother Helios! She would cry. It is time for you to begin your journey again. Up, and delight the world once more with your shin ing morning face and your life-giving presence! Then Helios would hasten to the meadows where his steeds were feeding, and would call them each by name: Come hither, beautiful creatures! Hasten, for Aurora calleth. E65, thou glowing one! Ethon, thou of the burning name! Bronte, thou thunderer! Sterope, thou swifter than light ning! Come quickly!
