⁂ OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE NEW EDITION.
“Dr. Fream is to be congratulated on the successful attempt
he has made to give us a work which will at once become the
standard classic of the farm practice of the country. We
believe that it will be found that it has no compeer among
the many works at present in existence.... The illustrations
are admirable, while the frontispiece, which represents the
well-known bull, New Year’s Gift, owned by the Queen, is a work
of art.”—_The Times._

the most exhaustive work of reference in the English language

ought to be on every farm and in the library of every land
owner.”—_Mark Lane Express._

certainly hold a pre-eminent and unique position among books
dealing with scientific agricultural practice. It is, in
fact, an agricultural library of itself.”—_North British

on every conceivable branch of the work of the live stock

☞ _The object of this work is to enable those who consult it to help
themselves to the law; and thereby to dispense, as far as possible, with
professional assistance and advice. There are many wrongs and grievances
which persons submit to from time to time through not knowing how or
where to apply for redress; and many persons have as great a dread of a
lawyer’s office as of a lion’s den. With this book at hand it is believed
that many a SIX-AND-EIGHTPENCE may be saved; many a wrong redressed; many
a right reclaimed; many a law suit avoided; and many an evil abated. The
work has established itself as the standard legal adviser of all classes,
and has also made a reputation for itself as a useful book of reference
for lawyers residing at a distance from law libraries, who are glad to
have at hand a work embodying recent decisions and enactments._
