which are said to be of foreign origin: the j 
beautiful spotted kind, which is supposed to 
have been been brought from Bengal ; and the 
very deep brown sort, that are now so common 
in several parts of this kingdom. These last 
were introduced, by King James the First, 
from Nor way: for, having observed their hardi- 
ness, and that they would endure the winter, 
even in that severe climate, without fodder, he 
brought over some of them into Scotland, and 
disposed of them among his chases. Since 
that time, they have multiplied in many parts 
of the Bri&ish empire; and England is now be- 
come more famous for it's venison than any 
other country in the world. Whatever pains 
the French have taken to rival us in this par- 
ticular, the fiesh of their Fallow Deer, of 
which they keep but a few, has neither the 
fatness nor the flavour of that fed on English 
pastures."
