HISTORY 



OF 



ABEP EEN-ANGDS CATTLE 



This is an entirely new and revised edition of the " History of Aberdeen- 

 Angus Cattle," originally written by Messrs. Macdonald and Sinclair, and 

 published in 1882. The first edition has long been out of print, and the 

 expansion and world-wide reputation of the " Doddies," demands that a more 

 adequate chronicle should be available, alike in the interests of the breed 

 and of the breeders. In the new edition edited by Mr. James Sinclair, all 

 the valuable features of the original volume are preserved, while the history 

 is completed to date, and more attention devoted to the progress of the 

 breed in the United Kingdom, in the Colonies, and in Foreign countries. 

 A new section is devoted to accounts of, including a List, of Existing Home 

 Herds, while the Illustrations are a special feature, comprising portraits of 

 leading breeders, homes of the breed, and of famous bulls and cows. In its 

 revised form the " History of Aberdeen -An gus " is certain to prove of great 

 service and value to all who are interested in this famous breed of Cattle.
