The horse's friend [microform] : the only practical method of educating the horse and eradicating vicious habits, followed by a variety of valuable recipes, instructions in farriery, horse-shoking, the latest rules of trotting, and the record of fast horses up to 1876.

Facts in myriads, exist which challenge the correctness of such a theory, while in almost equal number they assert the existence, at least in its embryonic state, of a mind capable of thought, and, to a limited degree, of reflection and comparison, with the ability to deduce con- clusions from the facts which it considers. This intelligence varies greatly in the different animal races, in some species being barely per- ceptible, while in others it is too conspicuous to be ignored; and between individuals of the same species there exists a difference so marked that, in the more favored ones which come under our observation, the intelligence is so clear as to almost startle us by the feeling that behind the full, liquid eye of the horse, or prompting the fixed gaze bent on us by our trusty canine com- panion, there may be a mind kindred to our own and which lacks only the power of articulate expression to respond to our thoughts by an- swering sentiments. It is the absence of the power of speech in animals which leaves us in.
