	MCTAGGART, M F. Hints on Horsemanship. Philadelphia: J B Lippincott 1932. 2nd Edition. Hardbound Small 8vo (about 7.75 inches tall) 162 pages. Description: Includes a b&w frontis photo plate; illustrated with b&w drawings by D M Cafferata. Note: there is no printed date of copyright or publication.

I date this from a laid in 1931-1932 J B Lippincott flyer, ''Book News from Sportland''. Quoted from the flyer: ''The author's aim in this book is to point out the common errors in horsemanship, explain the basic principles of good riding, train man and horse to ride better to hounds, instill a more sympathetic attitude toward horses, and reduce the abuse of whip and spur. In conversational style and easily comprehended, this is one of the most practical little books on riding that has appeared in a long time. Colonel McTaggart has won events all over the world and achieved notable successes in all branches of horsemanship. His book is, therefore, backed by real 'horse' sense and experience.''

I date this from a laid in 1931-1932 J B Lippincott flyer, ''Book News from Sportland''. Quoted from the flyer: ''The author's aim in this book is to point out the common errors in horsemanship, explain the basic principles of good riding, train man and horse to ride better to hounds, instill a more sympathetic attitude toward horses, and reduce the abuse of whip and spur. In conversational style and easily comprehended, this is one of the most practical little books on riding that has appeared in a long time. Colonel McTaggart has won events all over the world and achieved notable successes in all branches of horsemanship. His book is, therefore, backed by real 'horse' sense and experience.''
