To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Extensive and rapid motion are among the excellences of the horse. He is valuable in proportion as he has them combined with stoutness ; and by this conformation of the limb could he alone obtain them. Therefore the tendon is at first unusually strong; it plays throuGfh the natural but perfect pulley of the bone of the arm without friction; the body of the muscle is mixed with tendinous fibres, and the insertion into the fore-arm is very extensive, lest the application of such immense force sho...uld tear it from its adhesions. There is sufficient strength in the apparatus ; the power may be safely applied at this mechanical disadvantage; and it is applied close to the joint to give an extent and rapidity of motion which could not otherwise have been obtained, and without which the horse would have been comparatively useless. At the back of the arm are other flexor muscles of great power, to bend the lower portions of the limb. Two of them have been described belonging to the arm and the leg, and some very peculiar ones acting on the feet must not be omitted.
