Taken as a whole, the book will l)e found full of interest, sound reason¬ 
ing, and novel ideas; the Figure System in itself being a model of conven¬ 
ience and simplicity, serviceable to all breeders alike, whether they agree 
with the author’s deductions from it or not.— Wm. Allison, In the Preface, 
It is impossible to do Justice to Mr. Bruce Lowe’s work within the 
-compass of a newspaper article, but it may be said at the outset that it will 
undoubtedly be recognized as one of the greatest contributions to thorough¬ 
bred breeding that has ever been written. The book embodies the results 
of the author’s long and varied experience in Australia, America and Eng¬ 
land, both in his observations of racing and breeding, and- in his study of 
statistics relating to these subjects. It is modern and up to date in every 
respect, and in fact ahead of the times in many of its salient features. It 
represents a vast amount of labor in the compilation of statistics for which 
there is little to show except the theories founded on this data. 
No more scientific treatise of the subject of breeding can be found.— 
Spirit of the Times 
.Breeding as a distinct business to be followed successfully requires 
depth of knowledge as well as that other necessary adjunct of success, 
money. How many breeders thoroughly understand the business ? ^ The 
answer is seen by counting the number who are successful. What is the 
rule that such people follow to achieve success ? System. It is absolutely 
necessary to follow system. 
We have just read an elaborate work on the most perfect of systems. 
It was from the pen of Mr. Bruce Lowe, a writer of note who recently died 
in England, after spending years in the study of the work. It is the crea¬ 
tion of master minds throughout .—The Horseshoers' Journal.
