Remarks on Horses' Teeth. By William Miles, Esq. (Longman and
Co.)—A very clear and simple treatise, which will give every one who chooses to give the requisite time to the study of horses' mouths the power of deciding their age up to eight years old. Mr. riles is very energetic against working a horse at all till it is five, or much till it is six or seven. At eight it is "a mature horse, but certainly not an old horse," doctrines not popular with dealers, who want to make every horse out to be five years old. Hence the tricks against which Mr. Miles warns purchasers.
