  note: Michael Laird, bookseller, description: Folio (350 x 235 mm). 1 p. (Preface) + 121 numbered pages of text + 10 pages of "Remarques et notes supplementaires" and a table of contents.

The contents of this work include sections on the "government" of stud horses, including stables and grooms; distinction of provincial studs; Definition of the word "Haras"; Choice and composition of grasslands and pastures, their division and distribution, and how to maintain them; Choice of plants and herbs eaten by stud-horses; Qualities of the water which the horses of Haras must drink; Preference given to …
