HISTORY 



OF 



SHORTHORN CATTLE. 



Edited by JAMES SINCLAIR. 



The remarkable reception accorded to the volume by breeders of Shorthorns 

 all over the world, and the high praise bestowed upon it by the Press, agree in 

 describing the History as the most comprehensive yet published on its 

 subject, and the standard work on Shorthorn Cattle. It deals not only with 

 the History of the Breed in the British Islands, but also follows the fortunes 

 of the Shorthorn across the seas to the Colonies and Foreign Countries, where 

 it has made history in the great Cattle Breeding Industry. The best systems 

 of management are fully dealt with, and altogether the work is well-nigh an 

 indispensable companion to breeders of Shorthorn Cattle throughout the 

 world.
