THE ILLUSTRATED 



BOOK OF THE DOG. 



By VERO SHAW. With THIRTY FAC-SIMILE 

 COLOURED PLATES (drawn from life), and 

 numerous Wood Engravings. 



"A very attractive book, written by a high authority, and 

 admirably illustrated." — Mark Lane Express. 



" Will be a most valuable assistant to the owner of dogs. 

 The coloured plates are worthy of every commendation." — 

 Bell's Life. 



"The coloured plates will of themselves form a gallery of 

 canine art such as has never before been attempted." — Live 

 Stock yournal. 



" Mr. Shaw's great success as a breeder and exhibitor renders 

 him very capable for a work of this description, in which 

 he has enlisted the assistance of the best breeders, fanciers, and 

 judges." — Sporting Gazette. 



" Such a book has long'been looked for, not only by breeders 

 and regular dog-fanciers, but by farmers, sportsmen, and 

 country gentlemen generally. Messrs. Cassell's publication has 

 special advantages in its coloured plates from the life, as well as 

 in the fact of the whole book being entirely new and freshly 

 written. " — Farmer. 



"The letterpress to Part I. consists of an historical and literary 

 account of the animal, with instructive chapters on kennels and 

 the general management of dogs. The work promises to be of 

 great interest." — Court yournal.
