TIE HORSE In THE STABLE AND THE FIELD.
BY ]. III. Walsh, F. r. C. S. ("Stone-
henge''); Robert Mcclure, NJ. D., v. S.; and
Ellwood Harvey, M. d. Published by Porter
& Coates.
The work of ''Stonehenge" upon the horse
has long been standard authority in Eng
land, and Messrs. Porter & Coates have rem
dered genuine service by republishing 1t in
the complete and handsome style of the volume
before US. The work gives a complete descrip-
tion of the various varieties OF horses, with
their anatomy and characteristics. Full con-
sideration is given to the subjects of breeding,
treatment of diseases, stable management,
breaking, riding, shoeing, etc. The work has
been carefully revised by DR.. Mcclure, the
well-known author of "The Diseases of the
American Stable, Field, and Farm Yard" who
has contributed copious notes, which add
greatly to the value Of the book. Another
valuable addition is the essay on the Ame.i-
can trotting horse by DR.. Ellwood Harvey, of
Chester, Penn, a gentleman thoroughly con-
versant with the subject. This essay was
written at the urgent request OF the publishers,
and embodies the study and research of
years.
The work is illustrated with over eighty
epgravings, among which are fine portraits
of some of the most famous American horses.
A copious index is given, and fifteen tables Of
pedigrees.
This valuable work ought to be in the
hands of all who are interested in the subject
Of horsefesh, and there is no doubt but that
it will have large sale.
-Messrs J. B. Lippincott Il Co. have Just
issued what will be considered by horsemen
as valuable companion to the above-men-
toned work, viz, "Seats and Saddles, Bits
and Biting" by Francis Dwyer, major of
Hussars in the Imperial Austrian service.
The whole subject is considered in clear,
thorough, and practical manner, by one who
has evidently been conversant with II in all
it's details, and the hints about the cOnstruc-
ton of saddles for various kinds of riding,
and other information, will be appreciated by
those who have the care and management OF
horses. The work is handsomely printed,
and complete index is given.
From Messrs. Turner Brothers q Co. and
Claxtop, Remsen & Haffelfnger we have re-
ceived "Phineas Finn, the Irish Member" by
Anthony Trollope. Published by Harper &
Brothers. This is one Of Mr.. Trollope's --latest
works, and it is as attractive as most OF itf
predecessors. This writer is sometimes crit
oized as milk and wstery; but he has firm
hold upon very large circle of intelligent
readers, nevertheless. His pictures of the
current, everyday English society are not only
exact but vivid, and his characters are life
like portraits of real men and women. II Mr.
Trollope does not rise to the heigh
OF some Of his contemporaries, he is without
rival in his particular line, and his stories
are always well worth reading. Messrs
Harper & Brothers have published "Phinea
Finn in attractive style, with all the origi
nal illustrations by Millais.

at fifty cents.
