About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1861 edition. Excerpt: ...alone rivets all my attention--one group of struggling figures have a morbid fascination for mine eye: --a chesnut horse is plunging wildly forward, with a cloth about his head; whilst a trainer, a groom, and a boy, are vainly endeavouring to saddle the refractory brute. That horse is Saraband; and on that saddle am I destined to embark! Topthorne's conversation seems to flow on, in an unconnected string of sentences, about " coming," and " going," and " waiting," and " staying," and " hugging the posts," and " living the distance," and, above all, not " disappointing the horse." How I wish I could disappoint him!--but it is too late now. The confused hum of voices plays soothingly on my ear, as I approach the spot where the chesnut horse is fidgetting; and, with that appreciation of trifles peculiar to moments of intense excitement, I remark a small piece of orange-peel on the turf, and wonder how much bigger it would require to be to throw a horse down. An iron gripe seizes me by the ankle--Topthorne's face is turned upward, towards mine--an elastic pair of shoulders lengthen themselves out in front of me--I am conscious that my reins are knotted extremely short, that my mainstay, the trainer, has abandoned me to my own devices, and I feel that I am face to face with my fate. Great is my surprise to discover that the dreaded Saraband requires an immense deal of kicking along to induce him to extend himself in his preparatory canter, and that the infuriated horse who must be saddled blindfold and ridden by an equestrian Hercules may turn out the veriest slug after all. What is it but a beautiful arrangement of Nature, proving the reciprocal fitness which exists between the biped and the brute, that causes a man, however nervous he may...
