Very minor wear on the clean complete DJ. ; First Printing of the FIRST EDITION. 8-5/8" Tall 302pp. Green boards white cloth spine green spine lettering. BOATING. "In 1982 Raban furnished a small boat with books and pictures and took to the sea making a long looping 3000 mile journey around the British Isles and leading him into a multitude of revealing and often very funny encounters with his fellow citizens - poets priests agile conmen Colonel Blimps boat bums fishermen coal miners politicians tourists. But it is the surrounding sea in all its moods that haunts the pages of COASTING and no writer alive has described the sea so well. Raban cautiously navigating his boat past rocks and shoals in storms and calms becomes a latterday Pilgrim on a modern Progress. " . Simon & Schuster hardcover

In 1790 he was engaged as "rider for life" by the Prince of Wales later George IV and on October 20 1791 rode the Prince's horse Escape at Newmarket narrowly losing although the Prince not having placed a bet was not out of pocket. The following day under Chifney Escape won: this time both the Prince and Chifney had placed bets and the Prince realized a substantial sum. Chifney was called before the Jockey Club but nothing was proved against him. However as the result of a resolution by the Club the Prince sold his stud and left the turf. Chifney continued to race but in 1806 he left Newmarket for London and never returned dying in poverty the following year. In 1795 Chifney published this book in an attempt to clear his name and to raise money--the work of 170 pages in wrappers was priced at an extraordinary five pounds.

Samuel Chifney 1753-1807 inventor of the Chifney bit was a prominent jockey and trainer and states the DNB "He was long considered the best horseman of his time". In 1790 he was engaged as "rider for life" by the Prince of Wales later George IV and on October 20 1791 rode the Prince's horse Escape at Newmarket narrowly losing although the Prince not having placed a bet was not out of pocket. The following day under Chifney Escape won: this time both the Prince and Chifney had placed bets and the Prince realized a substantial sum. Chifney was called before the Jockey Club but nothing was proved against him. However as the result of a resolution by the Club the Prince sold his stud and left the turf. Chifney continued to race but in 1806 he left Newmarket for London and never returned dying in poverty the following year. In 1795 Chifney published this book in an attempt to clear his name and to raise money--the work of 170 pages in wrappers was priced at an extraordinary five pounds. This second edition appeared in 1804 and was still priced £5/ as stated here on the half-title the price has been struck through ink and re-priced one pound. <br/>A VERY RARE WORK DEALING WITH ONE OF THE CENTURY'S GREATEST RACING SCANDALS.
