NATURAL HISTORY 
SPANIEL. 
The Spaniel is another kind of smelling 
Dog, very docile, that may be taught to do 
very surprising tricks, such as fetching, cur- 
rying, &c. There are two sorts ; one called 
a Water Spaniel, and the other a Land 
Spaniel. The first of these is very excel- 
lent in hunting otters, ducks, &c. ; and will 
watch the stroke of a gun, and, as soon us 
the fowler shoots a fowl in the water, he 
will instantly go after it, and bring it to liis 
master.
