Excerpt from Fancy Pigeons: Containing Full Directions for Their Breeding and Management, With Descriptions of Every Known Variety and All Other Information of Interest or Use to Pigeon Fanciers
The previous editions of this book having met with a favourable reception, and being out of print, I have been induced to revise it. A considerable amount of new information has been added, as well as Coloured Illustrations of the principal varieties. The work being the result of the experience of a fancier who has studied domestic pigeons from his earliest years, the fancier as well as the naturalist, will find that it contains an exhaustive account of them.
