12mo, pp. viii, 9-332, [9], [3 (blank)]; a little foxed; contemporary speckled sheep, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, gilt yellow morocco lettering-piece in one, edges speckled, sewn two-up on sunken cords; rubbed and scuffed with losses at extremities, surface painted over.Undated Chambersburg edition. Among the most popular farriery manuals in America, the Experienced Farrier remained in print almost a century after its first appearance, with this Chambersburg edition following those of Wilmington and Baltimore. Intended, like its predecessors, for the common farmer 'who is scarcely able to read', the present edition adds for the first time German names for plants and chemicals for medicines 'so that you may not be at a loss to obtain the ingredients' (p. vii). Though an issue dated 1839 is most common, Thomas J. Wright seems to have published the text throughout the 1830s. Cf. Dingley 423 (1839 edition); not in Mellon. Language: English.…

Bound without half title in 20th-century quarter tree calf over marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt; head & tail of spine sl. chipped. Samuel Chifney, 1753-1807, was an English horsemen and the retained jockey of the Prince of Wales (later George IV). He had a distinguished career riding for the Duke of Bedford and Lord Egremont winning both the Epsom Derby and The Oaks many times before he was hired by the Prince in 1790. After only a year in the Prince's service, Chifney was involved in a scandal at Newmarket for losing his first and winning his second race on the same horse, Escape. He had placed a wager on his second race and not his first, leading the Jockey Club to conclude that he had thrown the first race deliberately in order to increase the odds and therefore his profit on the second. Chifney denied the charges but his reputation was ruined; despite inventing a bit that is still named after him today, he died in Fleet Prison after going into debt trying to market his invention. This work, which was first published c.1795, outlines not only his distinct riding and training style but also his account of the Escape scandal.…

Among the first popular guides to farriery, a form which would be much copied throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Gentleman's compleat Jockey (formerly attributed to Adolphus Speed) was first published in 1696 and soon underwent several editions, each of which survives in limited numbers only. Of this edition OCLC records three copies worldwide (Keeneland, Texas, Berlin). ESTC N483162; cf. Dejager 155 (first edition); cf. Dingley 1 & 2 (first and sixth editions); not in Mellon. Language: English.…
