To keep language in immediate touch with reality, to lade it with action and passion, to utter it hot from the heart of determination, is to exhibit it in the plenitude of power. All this may be achieved without the smallest study of literary models, and is consistent with a perfect neglect of literary canons. It ...

In every part of the world where the horse has been developed, it has been in exact ratio with the creed of the riding schools. No one that has seen both classes ...
