" Professor Low has set about a work of national concern, with a spirit worthy the 

 matter to which he has addressed himself. The reputation of tlie author will be a 

 guarantee for the excellence of the literary portion of this admirable work : we can with 

 confidence assert, that the combined talents of the scholar and the painter have given to 

 us nothing of a similar character at all to be compared to it."— Sporting Review. 



" The gre.it object of this work is to place before those who are interested in the im- 

 provement of our cattle, accurate engravings of all breeds, so that their respective merits 

 or demerits may be better ascertained than is possible by a mere written description. 

 From the style and manner in which the engravings are executed, and the valuable 

 descriptions of Professor Low, this splendid work must, we think, find its way into the 

 library of evei-y nobleman and gentleman in the kingdom, who sets a value upon a subject 

 so intimately connected with British agriculture, as an intimate knowledge of our various 

 breeds of cattle."— Mark Lane Express.
