Served in an Hungarian regiment

Captain Nolan, who was killed at Balaklava, served in an Hungarian regiment, in the Austrian service, afterwards in our own service in India, and visited Russia, France, Denmark, and South Germany, to collect materials for his work on the History of Cavalry and on the Training of Horses, although he set out with the golden rule laid down by the great Greek horseman, Xenophon, more than a thousand years ago Horses are taught, not by Harshness, but by Gentleness, only refers incidentally to a plan for throwing a horse down, in an extract from Baucher’s great work, which will presently be quoted, but attaches no importance to it, and was evidently totally ignorant of the foundation of the Rarey system.
