This special re-print edition of William Allison's "The British Thoroughbred Horse" is considered one of the most important works ever published on this famous breed of horse. First published in 1901, this important work on horses and horse racing, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Included in this comprehensive book are details on the history and breeding of thoroughbred horses in England and elsewhere in Great Britain. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
