"Moore's work on Pigeons was, no doubt,' the first, and is really the most important, work 

 everwrittenon this subject, . . . 'The work is out of print [very naturally —1735], and very 

 scarce, only two or three copies are known to be in existence at the present time.' 



"... in May, 1874, we began its publication in the columns of the Fanciers' Journal, 

 which circumstance has created a demand for this reprint in book form. 



" The original work was not illustrated; and, in order to make it more valuable to young 

 fanciers, we have embellished it with a series of illustrations by that well-known artist, Mr. J . 

 W. Ludlow." (Extracts from American Publisher's Preface.) 



There are many editions of the famous original, among them a literal reprint by Teget- 

 meier, 1879.
