In addition to the above pamphlet, Sebright was also author of Observations on Hawking, describing the mode of breaking and managing several kinds of hawks used in falconry, 1826; and of Observations upon the Instinct of Animals, 1836.

See also The Origin of Species, 1872, 6th. edition, Chapter one - Variation under Domestication - '. the possibility of making distinct races by crossing has been greatly exaggerated. Many cases are on record, showing that a race may be modified by occasional crosses, if aided by the careful selection of the individuals which present the desired character; but to obtain a race intermediate between two distinct races, would be very difficult.

8vo, 31, (1) pp., impressed mark on account of once being bound with a smaller pamphlet, disbound First edition. Sebright spent most of his life in parliament. A practical breeder and improving agriculturist with a deep interest in and love of animals, he published Observations upon hawking, 1826, and Observations upon the instinct of animals, 1836, as well as the present work. He developed the Sebright breed of chicken, the first poultry breed to have its own club for enthusiasts. Charles Darwin read The art of improving the breeds of domestic animals, and was influenced by Sebright's theories on the survival of the fittest: "The greatest number of females will, of course, fall to the share of the most vigorous males, and the strongest individuals of both sexes, by driving away the weakest, will enjoy the best food, and the most favourable situations. In cold and barren countries no animals can live to the age of maturity, but those who have strong constitutions; the weak and the unhealthy do not live to propagate their infirmities." In the Origin of the species, Darwin cited Sebright's experiments in pigeon breeding, and also cited him extensively regarding the Sebright bantam, as well as pigeon and dog breeding, in his Variation of plants and animals under domestication, and The descent of man.
