Perhaps the author of this book may be pardoned in assuming tohimself the credit, not of making the artist, but of brinoqW him beforethe public, especially in horse portraiture ; of encouraging his continu-ance to a perfecting himself in this particular direction, recognizing aswe did, his remarkable gift in giving to the horse a personnel—if I may 9 66 OLD HENRY CLAY. be allowed the expression—that we have never seen equalled by anyother American artist. I would also here thank the several journals who, during my single-handed contest for blood and breeding in our American horse, haveextended to me numerous courtesies through their columns when somany of their more valuable patrons were opposed to me. Again allow me to express to the Messrs. Lippincott my heartysatisfaction for the elegant and faithful manner in which they haverepresented my thoughts in the getting up of this souvenir.
