Excerpt from Stable Talk and Table Talk, Vol. 1: Or, Spectacles for Young Sportsmen
I AM told that I should have a Preface or Introduction to my book. My adviser being one of known taste and judgment, I am determined that one part of this work shall show both good taste and good judgment in its Author. That part, and possibly the only part that will do so, is the taking such advice. Conscience whispers that an apology for offering it to public notice is still more necessary. This I, was not told politeness alone probably prevented my being so; let me therefore hope the public will consider what I now offer as Preface, Introduction, and Apology.
I have read prefaces in Which the Author assures his reader, if the book is found to beguile a vacant hour of his time that its end and aim will have been fully accomplished. That such philanthropic feelings may actuate such authors, it would ill become me to dispute. Where they do, I conceive they must emanate either from men of such transcendent abilities that composing a work gives them no trouble, or from those of such fortunes that pecuniary advantage was quite beneath their consideration.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a critical eye on the mistreatment of racehorses in society. The author argues that the horses are not truly owned by their keepers, but instead are treated as public property. The author claims that it is a common misconception that owners may do whatever they please with the horses, including running them until they drop. This belief that the public has some ownership over the animals leads to the horses being overworked, mistreated, and abused by the betting community. The author also discusses the working conditions of the people who care for the horses, shedding light on a lesser-known side of the industry. This thought -provoking book exposes the underbelly of horse racing and argues that betting harms the sport, the animals, and the people involved, making it a must -read for anyone who cares about the welfare of animals and the future of horse racing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331640448_0
