In the year 1832, a grant by authority of Government, was made from the funds of the 

 Board of Trustees of Scotland, for forming an Agricultural Museum in the College of 

 Edinburgh. Amongst the objects which this Institution embraced, was a Collection of Paint- 

 ings illustrative of the British Breeds of the Domestic Animals. This extensive branch of 

 the Museum now embraces all the more essential Native Breeds, as well as some of Foreign 

 Countries. The Paintings are all Portraits of Animals selected from the stocks of eminent 

 Breeders, wherever the best examples presented themselves in any part of the kingdom. 

 They have been executed by a distinguished artist, Mr. Shiels, of the Royal Scotch Academy, 

 whose time has been devoted for upwards of seven years to the subject. The paintings have 

 been made with the utmost regard to fidelity of representation, so that all the essential 

 characters of external form may be shewn. From this fine collection the materials for the 

 present work are derived; and such a selection has been made from the Originals as to fulfil the 

 purpose of illustration, without extending the work beyond the limits proper to assign to it.
