A few copies on large paper, price 10s. 6d., by post 1 is. “‘The Collie or Sheepdog’is a sufficiently well known and popular animal to render a history and description of the British varieties of the species a welcome addition to the library of the dog fancier. Mr. Rawdon Lee publishes a volume dealing with the subject, which is issued by Mr. Horace Cox at the Field Office. Much information as to the breeding and points of the dog is given together with an exhaustive account of competitive trials, of which the writer has a large experience’. It is needless to say that anecdotes as to the sagacity of the collie are numerous.”—Morninz Post July 23, 1890. “ The subject of the present volume is the ever-popular collie, which is treated in the same attrac- tive manner as the previous work. It breathes of the hills, and living as Mr. Lee did for so many years in Westmoreland, he can transfer to his pages many interesting reminiscences of the sheepdog as a worker, comparing him with the collie in the more refined period of his life The initial chapters are excellent reading, and the author has displayed considerable skill in them, bringing as he does the testimonies of poets and of painters, of shepherds and of breeders.”—Fancier's Gazette |uly 18, 1890. * “ Mr. Lee's book, filled as it is with accurate information as to the various strains and valuable suggestions as to their rearing and management, is a manual which to all collie owners or collie breeders is likely to be highly serviceable. ‘—Saturday Review, May 16, 1891.
