THE GENTLEMAN'S NEW POCKET FARRIER, COMPRISING A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE NOBLE AND USEFUL ANIMAL THE HORSE.... This is the fifth edition, after the first of 1811. The fourth edition included the first American stud book; the present edition contains the stud book, but has the distinction of being the "earliest example of an alphabetical Stud Book printed in America" (Henderson). This edition also includes for the first time Samuel W. Pomeroy's "Essay on Mules," reprinted from THE AMERICAN FARMER. The plates depict horses in various modes of work and activities, including "A Virginia Race Horse." This edition is not listed in Haynes.
