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 7s. 6d. 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.
