Publisher's Synopsis
This is a special re-print edition of Bonington Moubray's legendary book "A Practical Treatise on Breeding, Rearing and Fattening All Kinds of Domestic Poultry, Pheasants, Pigeons and Rabbits". Published in England in 1830, this is considered one of the earliest, most concise works on keeping poultry, pigeons, game birds and rabbits. Moubray's famous work also includes sections on the breeding and keeping of swine, dairy cattle, bees and home brewery as well, making it a unique work. Long considered a classic among British stockmen, Moubray's work contains some of the earliest descriptions and insights of breeds of poultry, pigeons, rabbits and others. An enlightening read that will be found to be informative and beneficial to those interested in these subjects nearly 200 years after its first publication. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
