C. Morley (Charles Lewis William Morley) Knight

Known in print as C. Morley Knight, Charles Lewis William Morley Knight wrote Hints on Driving, a handbook on horse-drawn carriage driving first published in 1894 and later revised and reprinted. The book presents him as Captain C. Morley Knight, R.A., indicating service in the Royal Artillery.

From the book itself, he comes across as a practical instructor rather than a literary stylist: he wrote for beginners, revised the work quickly after its first success, and noted that some additions were shaped by a short period of service in India. His advice focuses on harness, handling horses, and safe, capable driving.

Little biographical information appears to be readily confirmed online beyond his authorship and military title. What has lasted is the usefulness of his writing: Hints on Driving is still preserved and circulated today as a compact guide to the techniques and culture of horse-drawn travel in the late 19th century.
