This little animal will prove his abilities to be far superior to any horse in the kingdom; he readily answers various questions, tells gold from silver, and its value, ladies from gentlemen, &c. Mr. Astley borrows a handkerchief, which the horse carries in his mouth, and tells the person it was borrowed from; he strikes with his foot the hour of the day, day of the month; he pleases and deceives the eye with different deceptions—He falls lame, shams a pain in his head, imitates sickness, and, on being told he is to fight for the Spaniards, he lays down as if dead; but on the contrary, being told he is to go to Germany, with his master and Elliot’s dragoons, he rises and fires a pistol, as if he understood word for word.64
