 of all others should occupy the place of honor in a book on dogs, 

 The beauty in outline ol the Sussex is very great, and th.- color, 

 of a true "golden liver," is exceptional. Nor do bis qualifications 

 for regard end with tho.-.e external points of eleguueo, for hi- value 

 iu covert shootiug is gladly borne testimony to by thosu sportsmen 

 who know the Sussex best and avail themselves of his services fre- 

 quently. 



Although this favorite breed of spaniel has for many years 

 occupied a high position in tho estimation of sportsmen, there was 

 some years ago a very great cbauce of its becoming extinct, :-.-. tho 

 kennels at Rosehill, Sussex— tho birthplace, so to speak of the 

 breed— were depopulated by that dreadful eauine scoiirm-, dumb 

 madness. About the year 1870, however, a few gentlemen, 

 actuated by feelings of inlere.-.t in tho Sussex spaniel, set them- 

 selves to work to rescue tho breed from the annihilation which 

 threatened it, and to their energy and d, yotidn the prusM Ruasex 

 mainly owes its existence al the time of writing, it must not bo

As might have been supposed, in 1S70 there were several types 

 of Sussex spaniel in existence — ndt that all wore pure-bred, by any 

 means ; so perhaps it would be more proper if wesaidih.it there 

 were si i. ml specimens of the bleed in whoso veius a laig. am.. in it
