LEE, Kennel Editor of the “ Field/' Author of “ Modem Dogs," &c. THE ILLUSTRATIONS by ARTHUR WAEDLE. THIS, the third edition of this popular work, has been so much extended as to he to all intents and purposes a new hook. It includes a fall history of the Pox Terrier from its introduction to the present time, with a r4sumd of what 'old writers have said about Terriers, the early shows and the notabilities which first made the variety popular. Pull particulars as to working terriers with fox, badger, otter, &c.; the opinions of Mr Vicary, Mr J. A. Doyle, Charles Littleworth and other eminent breeders of terriers, both for show and work, are included, with notes on .rearing puppies, early training and entering to game and vermin. Various hints as to preparing for show and advice about their ordinary ailments are given, with the points and full descriptions of both the smooth-coated and wire-haired in their various strains. The full-page illustrations include the FoxTerrier, 1806; Portraits of Old Jock, Grove Nettle, Old Tartar, Result, Vesuvienne, Venio, D’Orsay, Lyons Sting, Dame Fortune, Carlisle Tack, Carlisle Tyro, Jack St Leger and Charnwooji Marion, with a number of vignettes or tail-pieces of various terriers, fanciful and otherwise. | THE FOLLOWING ARE A FEW OP THE PRESS NOTICES OF THE EARLIER EDITIONS:— “The historical part of the work is most interesting, the anecdotal part most amusing, the 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," —“ Pox Terrier Chronicle.’’ “ 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 the 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 well-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.” Field.’’ “Having been interested in fox terriers from the time that they first came prominently into notice, there is no one more capable of giving atrue 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 means lost sight of the purpose for which these terriers were and should be bred in the present day, and has duly endeavoured to maintain their character as a true sporting dog. The chapters on working qualities are excellent. * * *„ The 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 well-known writer, the contents, one may well be assured, are valuable. * * * Every fox terrier fancier should have this book-on his shelf.”—“ Sporting Life." “The whole subject is treated in an exhaustive style which seems to leave nothing else to be said on the subject, and which only the experience of such writers as Mr Lee could lead us 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." “ The vignettes are beautiful. Altogether we have not read a more wholesome book 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, the portraits of celebrated j dogs, and the vignettes at the ends of chapters by j Mr Arthur Wardle are well executed, and add much to the beauty of one of the best books of the I kind we have come across." —“ Poultry," ] “We have already referred to the new edition of Mr Eawdon Lee’s important work on ‘The Fox Terrier.’ This must be regarded as the standard work on the history, the points, and the pedigrees of the pqpular little dog which ‘plebeian sportsmen ’ who indulge in rabbit coursing, and a certain, class of ‘fancy’ are doing their level best'to destroy. Apart from its great value as a record of all that is worth knowing about fox terriers, Mr Lee's book in its present cheap and elegant form is a delightful historical, typographical and artistic addition to the literature of dogology.”— “ Westmoreland Gazette.” A limited number of Large Paper Copies, with the page engravings on India paper, an edition de luxe, will be ready in a fortnight.
