There are many good people who call horse racing a sinful amusement and say hard things about those who patronize it. There are also a large number of equally good people who see no harm in the Sport and heartily encourage it. I am not ashamed to own that I was one of the big crowd of sinners who attended the races on the town moor this afternoon. I am also not ashamed to own that I enthused over the splendid struggle be tween the three gallant thoroughbreds which fought out the finish in the Wilton Plate, and it was not surprising that deafening cheers rewarded such an exhibition of gameness. I know many good men also who will back their favorite horse, yet are in no way deserving of being stigmatized as gamblers for so indulging. Racing honestly conducted is a noble sport and many of the most celebrated names in our national history have been pillars of the turf. It is the favorite sport of our people and is likely long to remain so.
The above words it was my privilege, when a mere boy, to hear fall from the lips of one who was then a central figure in the political history of Europe; a states man whose bold and fearless foreign policy had made him the idol of his countrymen. The speaker was Lord Palmerston, Premier of Great Britain, and the occasion, a county dinner at a race meeting in Wiltshire.
No man in English public life ever understood his countrymen better than Lord Palmerston. Though an aristocrat by birth, he was eminently a man of the people. He was equally at home in the homes of the poor and in the palaces of the great. In a word, he was one of those outspoken, fearless public men whose actions were ever guided more by principle than by policy.
What he said regarding the popularity of racing in England is also true of its status in this country, and I am proud of the fact that for forty years I published a newspaper devoted to Canadian turf interests, ever fighting for the right as I saw it. During those years much interesting sport was recorded and from my mem ory I have here served up some recollections of the most notable events.

Descripción de la tienda
Seit über 30 Jahren handeln wir mit Büchern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter Bücher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen Bücher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderbücher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten Büchern oder Haushaltsauflösungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbestände von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die Möglichkeit, große Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbestände werden von uns professionell auf Qualitätsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgfältig für den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken Büchern ein zweites Leben.…

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
