HISTORY OF ABERDEEN-ANGUS CATTLE

This is an entirely new and revised edition of the " History of Aberdeen- Angus Cattle," originally written by Messrs. Macdonald and Sinclair, and published in 1882. The first edition has long been out of print, and the expansion and world-wide reputation of the " Doddies," demands that a more adequate chronicle should be available, alike in the interests of the breed and of the breeders. In the new edition edited by Mr. James Sinclair, all the valuable features of the original volume are preserved, while the history is completed to date, and more attention devoted to the progress of the breed in the United Kingdom, in the Colonies, and in Foreign countries. A new section is devoted to accounts of, including a List, of Existing Home Herds, while the Illustrations are a special feature, comprising portraits of leading breeders, homes of the breed, and of famous bulls and cows. In its revised form the " History of Aberdeen -An gus " is certain to prove of great service and value to all who are interested in this famous breed of Cattle. Origin of Domestic Cattle.
