Summary:Niall Kenny description: Possibly missing half-title but suspect intact as identical to other examined editions, except no page number on p.125. The date is implied as the publisher worked under the name "Thomas Dean & Son" at this address between 1847-1855. Seems to be a rare title. BL have given 4th edition a possible date of 1854, RVC has 2nd edition, probably dated c. 1847 (same pagination as here); embossed boards give title as "Horse-Keeper's Guide"; later editions called "Horses: the gentleman's guide for the choice, treatment and management". A 7th edition is also recorded in the BL.
