A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON BREEDING, REARING, AND FATTENING ALL KINDS
OF DOMESTIC POULTRY, PHEASANTS, PIGEONS, AND RABBITS; including,
also, an interesting Account of the Egyptian Method of Hatching Eggs
by Artificial Heat, with some Modern Experiments thereon; also, on
Breeding, Feeding, and Managing Swine, Milch Cows, and Bees. By
BONINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq. A New Edition, being the Sixth, enlarged by a
TREATISE on BREWING, making CIDER, BUTTER, and CHEESE, adapted to the
Use of Private Families. Price 7_s._ 6_d._ in boards.
⁂ “Mr. Moubray’s little book on the breeding, rearing, and fattening
all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestionably the most
practical work on the subject in our language. The author’s aim
seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his
information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a
small poultry-yard—two or three pigs, with a breeding sow—and a cow
for cream, milk, butter, and cheese—in an English country-house,
appears indispensable; and to point out how these may be obtained,
at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray’s object. By
adopting the plan of his work, any family may furnish their table with
these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at
the markets; and the farmer and breeder may render it the source of
considerable profit.”—_Farmer’s Journal._

Knowledge in Domestic Economy, Agriculture, Chemistry, and the Arts;
including the most approved Modes of Treatment of Diseases, Accidents,
and Casualties. By JAMES JENNINGS, Esq. In one large vol. 8vo. price
1l. 7s. in boards.
This very useful work contains upward of fourteen hundred closely
printed pages, comprising as much matter as is frequently contained
in six ordinary-sized volumes. The following are the opinions of the
Reviewers on its merits:—
“As a book of daily reference, the FAMILY CYCLOPÆDIA is really
invaluable: it forms a portable Library of Useful Knowledge, of easy
reference, and contains a great variety of information not to be found
in other works of similar pretensions, and of greater magnitude.”
