Horse-shoes and horse-shoeing : their origin, history, uses, and abuses . ich is now in themuseum of Lewes Castle, Sussex, is larger than the speci-mens we have yet examined, being 4^ mches long and /.^wide. It does not appear to have been much worn, andyet its thickness does not exceed of an inch; it has nocalkins, and both surfaces are flat.
