At time of publication, the Indexes to Patents were, "so numerous and costly as to render their purchase inconvenient to a large number of inventors and others, to whom they have become indispensable. To obviate this difficult, short abstracts or abridgments of the Specifications of Patends under each head of Invention have been prepared for publication separately, (nearly 62,500) and so arranged as to form at once a Chronological, Alphabetical, Subject-matter, and Reference Index to the class to which they relate.
This series embraces all Inventions relating to Saddles and saddlery, pillions and pack saddles, saddle cloths, housings, gambadoes, girths, stirrups, stirrup-bars, stirrup leathers, bridles, bits, rings, buckles, hooks, knee-caps, muzzles and horse-boots; 2: to carriage and cart harness including collars, hames, saddles, territs, buckles and their substitutes, traces, tugs, bits, head-gear, reins and nose-bags; 3: to whips and spurs; 4: to stable fittings, namely partitions and hay racks, mangers, troughs, harness brackets, and halters and apparatus for securing harness brackets; 5: to stable utensils, including currycombs, brushes, and singeing lamps; and 6) to contrivances for stopping runaway horses, and for instantaneously releasing horses from carriages, in case of accident, when such contrivances form part of the harness..." 265 including index.
