First edition first print hardback of CASSELL'S NEW BOOK OF THE HORSE VOL.3 by Charles Richardson and published by The Waverley Book Co. Ltd in 1911. Includes a tipped in slip stating that this edition has been specially prepared for subscribers. Previous owner name and address to half title page. Gilt page edges.
The book is in very good+ condition (blue leather boards with gilt lettering to spine) with light general wear which includes bumping to the corners and edges. The book is in a good unclipped dust jacket which is slightly tatty and discoloured. Internally the pages are slightly stained as a result of aging but are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.
"The Arab, it may not be generally known, has stood still in his own country throughout the long period of time during which anything definite has been known about him. He has undoubtedly the same elegant outline, the same beautiful appearance, and the same wonderful stamina for which he has always been noted. But in his native state he is no bigger or heavier than he was when he was first introduced into this country something like 300 years ago, and this is probably due to the fact that he is bred in countries which do not possess such land as is to be found in many parts of the United Kingdom. It may be urged that the Arab in his own country does not require the luxuriant grasses upon which English horses are reared, and to some extent that is true; but it may be pointed out that when Arabs, Barbs, and other Eastern sires were brought to this country with a view to improving our native breed, the size quickly increased, even in horses whose blood was almost entirely Eastern. The fact is that England, Ireland, and even parts of Scotland, are eminently suitable for horse-breeding, as are the blue grass plains of Kentucky, the Percheron district of France, certain parts also of the Northern Coast of France, and many districts of Australia and New Zealand."
