Contemporary leather, crudely rebacked. Front hinge split. Internally very good. 4th edition. 140 pp., 17 uncolored engraved plates, 4 of which may be missing a small section at the right side and two of which are trimmed very close at the right side. This is a manual by a British cavalry officer who was a follower of the French school, and a personal friend of Bourgelat. This work was intended to improve the horsemanship of British Army officers by introducing a regimen of gradual and patient training. It suggests a few general rules for cavalry discipline. His precepts for shoeing are especially praised by Mennessier, who discusses them in detail. Horses are taught to jump and swim, and to obey oral commands in case reins are not available. The book had immediate success, and Herbert's ideas were adopted by the British cavalry. Seller Inventory # b01135
