Bits about Horses for Every Day. Selected and Illustrated by

S. Turner. (F. Warne and Co.)—Mr. Turner, by the exercise of much industry and ingenuity, has collected so many quotations of all kinds about horses as to furnish a motto for every day in the year. (But the " huntress in her habit and her mien " whom we meet in the first £neid was not a young lady in a scarlet habit on horseback, but a pedestrian.) The quotations are drawn from various sources; the drawings are decidedly spirited. The shape of the book follows the new fashion which has been set in these matters, and imitates a horseshoe.
