A PRACTICAL TREATISE on BREEDING, REARING, 

 and FATTENING all KINDS of DOMESTIC POULTRY, 

 PIGEONS, and RABBITS ; also on Breeding, Feeding, and 

 Managing Swine, Milch Cows, and Bees. By BONINGTON 

 MOUBRAY, Esq. Eighth Edition, enlarged by a Treatise on 

 Brewing, on making British Wines, Cider, Butter, and 

 Cheese, and Country Concerns generally ; adapted to the Use 

 and Domestic Comforts of Private Families. Illustrated with 

 new and original Drawings from Life, coloured from Nature, of 

 the various breeds of Fowls and Animals. 



"This is unquestionably the most practical work on the subject in our 

 language, and the information is conveyed in plain and intelligible terms. 

 The convenience of a small poultry-yard ; two or three pigs, with a breeding 

 sow, and a cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese, in an English country- 

 house, appears indispensable ; and to point out how these may be obtained, at 

 a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr.' Moubray's object. He is 

 evidently a good practical farmer, thoroughly conversant with rural economy 

 in all its branches ; his book is written in a light, lively, Kitchener style ; and, 

 like the works of that celebrated gastronome, conveys, at least, as much 

 amusement as information. Were any testimony wanted as to its practical 

 utility, it would be found in the declaration of an eminent rural economist, 

 Sir John Sinclair, who pronounces it ' the best work hitherto printed' on the 

 subject of which it treats. It is particularly calculated for the Colonies, 

 Canada, and United States, the West Indies, New South Wales, and Van 

 Diemen's Land." — Farmer's Journal.
