PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION 



>X<c 



m 



HE THIRD EDITION of this volume having 

 been out of print for some months, a fourth 

 has been called for, which is evidence that the 

 extreme popularity enjoyed by the fox terrier twenty 

 years or more is not on the wane. 



An endeavour, it is hoped a successful one, has been 

 made to bring the present publication up to date by adding 

 material that is considered new with regard to the variety, 

 and by omitting such matter as may have become some- 

 what uninteresting. To be abreast with the times, four 

 illustrations of notable fox terriers — smooth and wire- 

 haired — of the day are added, they being Dreadnought 

 and Duchess of Durham, and Go Bang with his good 

 son, Hands Up. I believe, also, that the portrait of the 

 late Rev. J. Russell with a favourite terrier, which appears 

 as the frontispiece instead of "Jock, Tartar, and Grove 

 Nettle," which had the place of honour in previous editions, 

 will be appreciated. It may be noted that D'Orsay, illus- 

 trated at page 88, died on February 22nd, 1902.
