THE JACOBIN. 



I w.vs very much surprised and disappointed on reading 

 " \Yii.TSHmE Rector's " article on the Jacobin in the Journal 

 of the 11th of October. From what he had previoitsly ^"*«? ^ 

 certainly expected some assistance from him in raising the bird 

 to its old standard, but instead I found a wet blanket. /*.^^^: 

 SHIEE Rector " tells the Jacobin fanciers that they are all right 

 and their birds very pretty, and then be goes off the siibject and 

 away into marking— a point not under discussion at all, and one 

 of small importauce in comparison with the shape and feather- 

 ing of the bird, points in which the modern bird is so glaringly 

 deficient that they look like half-bred beside the true eld type. 

 He thinks the mane and rose great beauties, and at the same 

 time laments the loss of the long, thin, soft-feathered birds; 

 but if he will think it over again he will, 1 have no doubt, see 

 that such birds could not have a mane, and therefore no rose, 

 as it requires short stiff feathers to form the mane, a vile thing 

 to come to be reckoned a beauty ; so that I cannot see that they 

 could exist together. 



I must also differ from "Wiltshire Rector" about what he 

 calls artistic beauties and fanciers' beauties. I hold that with 

 the old fanciers they had artistic beauty of the highest order m 

 their eye when they formed their standards of the Pouter, 

 Carrier, &o , as anyone may see by looking at the descriptions 

 of the different varieties where true lines of beauty are laid 

 down. They did not say a bird must measure so much. The
