Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1876 Edition.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
This antiquarian book comprises a comprehensive treatise on the art
of breaking-in a horse, written by the prolific sports-writer, John
Henry Walsh. Although an arguably dated text, the information
contained herein is still valuable today and constitutes a
must-read for modern equestrians with an interest in the topic.
This book has been elected for modern republication due to its
historic and educational value, and is proudly republished here
with a new introductory biography of the author. John Henry Walsh
(1810 1888) was prolific English writer of sports often writing
under the pseudonym "Stonehenge." Other notable works by this
author include: The Dog in Health and Disease (1859), The Horse in
the Stable and in the Field (1861), and The Modern Sportsman's Gun
and Rifle (1882)."
And The Various Rural Games And Amusements Of Great Britain And
America. The full title of this work is Encyclopedia of Rural
Sports: Consisting of Shooting, Hunting, Coursing, Fishing,
Boating, Racing, Pedestrianism, Cricket, Base Ball, &c. and the
Various Games and Amusements of Great Britain and America.
Reproduced here in facsimile is the first American edition, which
was published by Porter and Coates, Philadelphia, and which is an
expansion of the British edition. In his Introduction, Walsh
broadly defines "rural sports" as inclusive of nearly all outdoor
pastimes. Perplexingly little can be learned about J. H. Walsh and
his voluminous compendium. He is conspicuously absent from the
British Dictionary of National Biography and other major
references. Nor is the Encyclopedia ... noted in John C. Phillips'
comprehensive American Game Mammals and Birds, A Catalogue of
Books, 1582 to 1925, Sport, Natural History, and Conservation
(1930). We do know that Walsh was English, that he lived from 1810
to 1888, and was bewilderingly knowledgeable about English outdoor
sports, many of which he was proficient in, during the 19th
century. His work, astonishing in scope and detail, is equally
enigmatic.--Henry M. Reeves.
