AMERICAN HERD BOpiv. 
C1ECULAE. 
D EAR SIR: During the past year I have been in- 
quired of, by several Short Horn cattle breedeis, 
when I intended to issue a second volume of the American 
Herd Book. My reply has been, “Not until the Short 
Horn breeders would come forward in sufficient number 
to patronize the work, by furnishing the pedigrees of their 
stock, and to buy the book to an extent sufficient to war¬ 
rant the expense of its publication.” The first volume of 
the American Herd Book, which I published in 1846, is 
still indebted to me in the cost of the book itself, throwing 
in the time and labor I spent upon it. 
At the late “ National Cattle Show,” held at Springfield, Ohio, 
a large number of Short Horn breeders were assembled, from 
ten or twelve States and the Canadas. The subject of a contin¬ 
uance of the publication of an American Herd Book was fully 
discussed by them. It was agreed that, with so large a number 
of Short Horn cattle as are now owned and bred in the United 
States, and the Canadas, a Herd Book, devoted to the registry of 
American Cattle, was imperatively demanded. The expense 
bnd trouble of transmitting their pedigrees to England, and the 
purchase of the voluminous English Herd Book, now costing at 
least one hundred dollars, is no longer necessary: and that as 
the breeding of pure Short Horn Blood must depend much upon 
having a domestic record at hand, when the requisite informa¬ 
tion can be obtained, and that of a reliable character, a Herd 
Book is indispensable. 
In pursuance of the unanimous request of the gentlemen en¬ 
gaged in breeding Short Horns, above alluded to, together with 
many individual solicitations, which I have received from other 
breeders during the past year, I have concluded to issue this, my 
Prospectus, for a second volume of ‘‘ The American Herd Book,” 
and to request you, if you feel an interest in the work, to inform 
me at your earliest convenience, whether you will aid in its pub¬ 
lication by sending a record of your animals for registry, and to 
designate the number of volumes of the book you will take. The 
size of the work will, of course, depend upon the number of ani- 
mals registered, which, if this oppurtunity is embraced by the 
breeders generally, will be several hundred pages octavo, and 
illustrated with portraits of such animals, properly engraved, as 
the owners may tie desirous to have inserted, they furnishing the 
cuts for the purpose. 
I shall also give an account of all the recent importations into 
the United Slates. A copy of the Catalogue of each separate 
herd will be given, whenever they can be obtained, togethe 
with the account of their sales, the prices at which they were 
sold, purchaser’s names, &c. In short, every matter of interest 
in relation to them, so far as it can be obtained, will be given. 
All papers relative to such information will be thankfully re¬ 
ceived, sent to my Post-Office address at Black Rock, N. Y. 
As it is necessary that I get to work by the first of March next, 
you will oblige me by replying immediately, and informing me 
whether you will have your cattle recorded, and if so, what the 
probable number will be, and the number of volumes you will 
take. The tecording-fee for each animal will be fifty cents; 
the price of the book five dollars. The recording fees will be 
expected to be remitted in advance, when the pedigrees of the 
cattle are forwarded, and the book paid for on delivery. 
If, by any casualty, the book should not be issued, the ad¬ 
vance money will be promptly refunded. 
That there may be as little uncertainty as possible, I wish that 
the reply to this may be as prompt as convenient, that I may 
know whether I shall be justified in undertaking the work; if so, 
I will give you notice of the fact as early as the first of Februa¬ 
ry, 1855, on receiving which, your pedigrees and insertion-fees 
will he required to be sent immediately. 
Very Respectfully yours, 
LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
Buffalo, Black Rock Post-Office, N. Y., Dec. 1, 1854. 
P. S.—As I can not be presumed to know tho name and address 
of every Short Horn breeder in the country, you will oblige me 
by sending one of these Circulars to every breeder with whom 
you are acquainted, or to whom you have sold ‘‘Herd Book” 
animals, and give me a list of others, that I may send them a 
circular, so as to give as extensive information as possible on 
the subject. L. F. A. 
Agricultural papers throughout the United States giving 
the above Circular one or more conspicuous insertions, shall be
