Melville was the author of White Dandy, Or Master And I; A Horse's Story. A companion to Black Beauty, it tells a similar story of the adventures and abuses of a horse, —of several horses— from the animal's standpoint. It was well written and was said to help forward the movement for the protection and proper care of animals, teaching kindness to the horse as well as to other animals. It was issued by J.S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, New York, and was sold for US$0.25 per copy.
