Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Massey's Illustrated, Vol. 1: A Journal of News and Literature for Rural Homes; May, 1889
O, hide thy knotted knees in fern, And overlook the chase.
As the population increased, the wild cattle were routed from their native haunts, just as deer and buffalo were in the far West of our own country, but they were saved from exter mination in the parks that the great nobles were permitted to inclose, and that is the clue to the history of the preserva tion of herds of so many years; at least sixteen were known which have now become extinct, though several, as will be shown, still remain. In two of the cases they became so savage or troublesome that they had to be killed; in one, they all died out from sickness.
