Breeding, Training, Management, Diseases Of Dogs | by Francis Butler

The Publisher trusts, in giving to the public this fifth edition of the work of Francis Cutler, deceased, that the additions and embelishments which he has spared neither pains nor expense to procure, will gratify the admirers of the subjects illustrated. Of the late author of the work, it is useless to speak. He has been acknowledged, not only in this country, but in Europe, to be the best American authority on the subject he treats. Mr. Edward Jesse, Keeper of the Queens Park, London, in his "Anecdotes of Dogs," quotes from Mr. Butler's work as the best extant.

By Francis Butler, Author Of The "Spanish Teacher," "French Speaker," " Dog's Poetically Described And Illustrated," Etc.

Together with an easy and agreeable Method of Instructing all Breeds of Dogs in a great variety of Amusing and Useful Performances.

Born a Poet, by instinct a Naturalist, and by profession a Philosopher, I offer no apology in introducing to you a series of Canine poems, descriptive of the varied types of Dogdom ; tresting that my delineations may prove both instructive and amusing to the reader, and profitable to the Author, Francis Butler.
