being a collection of weekly papers just completed on that noble animal, and which the public press have universally recommended as a work which no horse purchaser, no horse proprietor, no veterinary surgeon, no horse dealer, nor any person in any way conected with the welfare of that most useful animal, should be without
4 unnumbered pages, 314 pages, 2 unnumbered pages, 3 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 23 cm
Niall Kenny description: Seems to be very rare. Only 20 parts were ever published (the part numbers occur at the bottom of every 8th leaf). Typographical errors: no page number on p27; p 39 given as '3', 64 as '50', 144 as '116', 155 as '151'; signatures only present on a few leaves but enough to establish the sequence. Another copy examined of the 20 part issue had no plates but suspect this may have been a binding error as 2 of the plates here state at the bottom that they were issued with parts 11 and 12 of 'The Horse' ('Eclipse' and 'Flying Childers' respectively). These plates have a different publisher, e.g. 'Flying Childers' has "Published by J. Hamlet & Co. Horse Office Wellington St. Strand. Delivered gratis with the12 number of The Horse a few India proofs 6d each". Printer's imprint: "W. Tyler, 4, Ivy-Lane, St. Paul's." but in the gutter of some issues there is a different imprint, e.g. issue 10 has "Printed by W. Molineux, 19 Rolls Buildings, Fetter Lane - Published every Saturday by J. Hamlet, 12, Wellington St. -No. 10, price three-pence, April 9, 1834"
Part numbers printed at the bottom of every 8th leaf.
"Answers to Correspondents" last section in each part.
"Opinions of the press on this subject" final two pages.
Misnumbering: no page number on 27; 3 for 39, 50 for 64, 116 for 144, 151 for 155.
