Summary "The Sporting Dictionary and Rural Repository, Volume 2 (of 2)" by William Taplin is a comprehensive reference work likely written in the early 19th century. This dictionary delves into the terminologies and practices surrounding various sports, particularly those related to hunting and equestrian activities. The content suggests a detailed exploration of topics such as horse care, veterinary practices, and sporting codes, making it a valuable resource for both enthusiasts and those involved in rural sports. At the start of the volume, the text outlines entries beginning with the letters ‘I’ and ‘J’, covering terms like "Jardon" and "Jaundice" as they pertain to horse care and associated ailments. Taplin discusses the causes and treatments for specific horse disorders, emphasizing the importance of proper management and timely veterinary intervention. Other terms address the roles of jockeys and the governance of racing, providing insight into the regulatory framework of horse racing in that era. This opening sets the stage for a thorough examination of sporting vocabulary, aimed at enriching the reader's understanding of rural sports and animal husbandry practices.
