142 ON PURCHASE AND SALE. 



culariy in HerefordPnire, where the bed live 

 ftock of all kinds is to be found. The Here- 

 fordfiiire pigs have been for fome years paft, 

 and are at this inftant, fuperior to all others, 

 as the London feeders, who have a right to be 

 the beft judges, are ready to teftify. I can 

 fafely recommend this breed to any gentleman 

 agriculturift, who is curious in live-flock, as pof- 

 fefiing moft of that principle ftyled " growth," 

 and as likely to make the beft return for their 

 keep. They, with their neighbours of Shrop- 

 fiiire, are the real blood, or thorough- bred 

 ftock, of the hog-kind, and may not improperly 

 be compared with the race-horfe for depth of 

 ihoulder and quarter, and general fuperior fym- 

 rcetry. The old Berkfhire breed is nearly ex- 

 tinft, having been of late years univerfally adul- 

 terated and (liortened by the mixture. of China 

 and Portugal ftock. If any improvement has 

 arifen from the introduftion of this foreign 

 breed, it is, I believe, in the regard of hardinefs 

 alone, a curious confideration , feeing they are 

 the produ6lion of a warmer clime. 



The bargain for a horfe is cither attended 

 with the. WARRANTY of " found, free from 

 " vice or blemifli, and quiet to ride or draw,'' 

 or he is fold without warrant, to be taken with 

 all faults ; in which latter cafe, the buyer can 

 have no right or pretence to return him, except
