[1737].- IV, [8], 236 p.: 1 portada dupla gravada, 42 gravuras duplas, il.; 46 cm.- E. William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle (1592-1676), politician and soldier, born in Yorkshire (United Kingdom), became famous as a riding master and author of treatises on equestrian art. This is the second edition, with better graphic quality, as it was printed on superior quality paper. It preserves the double frontispiece of the first edition (in the variant dated 1658), with the following imprint: A Anvers Chez Iacques van Meurs l’an M. DC. LVIII. Engraving 16 with restored central tear, without lack of support; stain on outer margin of last seven leaves. For the rest, a lightly handled copy, but in general, clean, preserving all the engravings mounted on guards. It includes, pasted in the free endpaper, a holy card with an inscription offering, in French (10 lines), to an unidentified general, signed (illegible) and undated (circa 1800). Full sheepskin binding, a little later (19th century?), with a gilt roll on the squares and a slightly worn spine. Complete copy, strictly corresponding to the detailed description by Mennessier de La Lance (II, p. 248).
