"Moore's work ou Pigeons was, no doubt, the first, and is really the most important, work 

 •ever written on this subject, . . . ' The work is out of ijriut [very naturally — 1735], and very 

 scarce, only two or three copies are known to be in existence at the present time.' 



"... in May, 1874, wo began its publication in the columns of the Fanciers' Journal, 

 which circumstance has created a demand for this reprint in book form. 



"The original work was not illustrated; and, in order to make it more valuable to young 

 fanciers, ive have embellished it with a aeries of illustrations by that well-known artist, Mr. J . 

 "W. Ludlow." (Extracts from American Publisher's Preface.) 



There are many editions of the famous original, among them a literal reprint by Teget- 

 meier, 1879.
