Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Appeal for the Horse
IN again coming before the public to advocate the horse's cause, I must beg the indulgence of my fellow colonists for thus once more directing their attention to the subject but as it is an important one - at least to the horse - let me trust that some consideration may be bestowed on it.
My pen and pencil have been used in description and illustration, and they are freely at the service of the public but perhaps their range would have been wider, and their field more comprehensive, if they had not been limited in their exercise to the narrow bounds within which they were confined in consequence of the means of publication being regulated by the shallowness of my purse. My client has not tendered a retaining fee, and I have no hopes of a refresher; nevertheless I am willing to use my pen, pencil, and purse in his service, and will continue to do so until they all fail me.
