The signs and causes of their diseases, the means to prevent them, their cure, and the good or bad use of purging and bleeding. III. The way to order and preserve them, when upon travel, to feed, and to dress them. IV. The art of shoeing, according to a new design of shoes, which will recover bad feet, and preserve the good. Together with a treatise, how to raise and bring up a true and beautiful race of horses: as also instructions, whereby to fit all kinds of horses with proper bits, whereof the chief draughts are represented in copper-plates. / Written originally in French by the Sieur de Solleysel Escuyer, sometime one of the overseers of the French Kings Royal Academy of Riding, near to the Hostel de Conde in Paris. And translated from the last Paris impression, by Sir William Hope of Kirkliston Kt. Lieutenat Governour of the Castle of Edinburgh.

the_o back-sinew_n make_v the_o horse_n in_o a_o short_a time_n to_o halt_v nevertheless_o any_o simple_a splint_n will_v with_o long_a and_o violent_a exercise_n mount_v to_o the_o very_a knee_n and_o when_o they_o come_v that_o length_n than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v suspect_v some_o people_n maintain_v that_o a_o splint_n do_v not_o mount_v upward_o but_o that_o it_o only_o lengthen_v and_o
