THE FOLLOWING ABE A FEW OP TEE PRESS NOTICES OF THE EARLIER EDITIONS “ The historical part of the work is most interesting, the anecdotal part most amusing, tho advising part most instructive, and, in short, from start to finish the book is ‘ good.’ * * * The beautiful little vignettes are a study, and high examples of the painter’s and engraver's art." —“ Fox Terrier Chronicle." 11 Breeders and exhibitors will find it very useful, and it is not without interest to all who agree with King Solomon, that ‘ a living dog is better than a dead lion.’ “ Morning Post.’’ "A bright, pleasant and sufficiently long history of the breed from earliest times leads tho reader step by step until the author 'has shown the youngest fancier clearly how his dogs were produced. * * * Replete with racy stories of doughty deeds done by dogs belonging to several woll-known breeders,’’ —“The Stock-Keeper." <‘ To those who admire the fox terrier the work is invaluable; to those who admire dogs it is pleasing and instructive literature.” “The American. Field.” “Having bean interested in fox terriers from the lime that they first came prominently into notice, there is no one more capable of giving a true history of the fox terrier, nor is there any person whose opinion is more valued than that of the Kennel Editor of the ‘Field,’ when the smart little tyke is under consideration.—“ Fanciers’ Gazette." “ The author has by no moans lost sight of tho purpose for which these terriers were and should he bred in the present day, and has duly endeavoured to maintain their character as a true sporting dog. Tho chapters on working qualities are excellent. * * * Tho illustrations are unequalled."—“ Kennel Gazette.” “ A volume all about fox terriers can scarcely fail to be well received by the public, and from the pen of such a woll-known writer, the contents, one may well be assured, ora valuable. * * * Every fox terrier fancier should have this book onhia shelf.’’—" Sporting Life.” “The whole subject is treated in an exhaustive stylo which seems to leave nothing else to be said on the subject, and which only tho experience of such writers as Mr Lee could lead ns to look for. * * * Apart from owners of dogs even, there are few who will not find much readable and pleasant matter in its pages.’’—“ Kendal Mercury and Times." ’ “Tho vignettes are beautiful. Altogether we have not read a mora wholesome hook on any branch of the fancy."—“ Scottish Fancier.” “Mr Eawdon Lee, the Kennel Editor of the ‘Field,’ has produced one of the, and probably the best and most complete works on these charming little dogs that has ever been written. The charming illustrations, tho portraits of celebrated dogs, and the vignettes at the ends of chapters by Mr Arthur Wardlo are well executed, and add much to tho beauty of one of tho best books of the kind we have come across.” —“ Poultry." *• We have already referred to the now edition of Mr Eawdon Leo’s important work on ‘The Fox Terrier.’ This must he regarded as the staudard work on the history, tho points, and the pedigrees of tho popular little dog which ‘plebeian sportsman ’ who indulge in rabbit coursing, and a certain class of ‘fancy’ are doing their level best to destrov. Apart from its great value as a record of all'that is worth knowing about .fox terriers, Mr Leo’s book in its present cheap and elegant form is a delightful historical, typographical and artistic addition to tho literature of dogology."— “ Westmoreland Gazette," A limited number of Largo Paper Copies, with the page engravings on.
