Description
Summary:	Niall Kenny description: Rare title, with later printings in 1871 and 1883 (only copy in HL). Oddly the first printing of the original Spanish text, "Nuevo método para embocar bien todos los caballos y tratado sucinto de equitacion", did not appear until 1855 (see Torrecilla). Authorship of the 1871 printing is thought to be by Benjamin Latchford who was the nephew of Edward Latchford; the family were famous bit makers in London until 1914. My copy is identical to that in Michigan.
