226 REVIEW— BREEDS OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 
the shoulders and haunches being red, while a white colour covers 
the body like a sheet. It is a native of Somersetshire. 
To this succeed some valuable remarks on the general ma- 
nagement of the dairy, from the earliest periods of Greece and 
Rome to the present day, including every valuable breed in every 
country. 
The 12th Part returns to the sheep. It commences with the 
Romney Marsh breed, of the ewe and ram of which beautiful 
drawings are given. To this follow some interesting sketches of 
the old Teeswater, the Warwickshire and Staffordshire, and De- 
von and Somerset long-woolled breeds. The next are the long- 
woolled sheep of Ireland, of whose improvement, or almost total 
change, an interesting account is given. 
The Cotswold breed is next depicted — not the Cotswold of 
former times, so celebrated for the length and fineness of its wool, 
but the sheep of the present day, superior in size to the New 
Leicesters, with a fleece of seven or eight pounds in weight, and 
from six to eight inches in length ; hardy, thriving well under 
proper treatment, frequently yielding twins and supporting them 
well. 
This Part concludes with portraits of the New Leicester ram 
and wether, of which we will only say, that they are splendid 
portraits. The history of this breed is given with much fidelity 
and spirit. 
A short classification of the different breeds of sheep completes 
this number. 
In the 13th Part Mr. Low returns to the subject of cattle. 
He first gives a drawing of the Herefordshire cow, bred by the 
Earl of Talbot. 
To this follows a bull of the long-horned breed, and a length- 
ened but interesting and faithful account is given of the improve- 
ment, or, more properly speaking, the formation of this breed, by 
Mr. Bakewell. 
To this succeeds a bull of the short-horned breed, by Earl 
Spencer. The perfect contrast between the two is a pleasing 
object for study. 
A cow of the same breed completes this Part. The history of 
this breed of the Codings contains much interest. 
We can truly affirm that this splendid work continues to 
maintain its original fidelity and sterling value. 
The history of the different breeds of cattle is given with much 
fidelity and truth. Y.
