Preface. 



as a result notices appeared in The Bazaar newspaper to 

 the effect that He would be willing to undertake the finan- 

 cial responsibility of a New and Revised Edition provided 

 that those interested would support the proposed issue by 

 subscribing for such a number of copies as would show 

 a general desire amongst goat-keepers for the renewal of 

 this book. The generous response to this appeal is 

 additional proof, if such were wanting, that the interest 

 in goat-keeping and the desire for the fullest information 

 on the subject have not slackened. The author takes this 

 opportunity of tendering his sincere thanks to those who 

 have thus come forward in the interest of goat-keeping 

 and in support of his book.
