Excerpt from The Practical Poultry Keeper: A Complete and Standard Guide to the Management of Poultry, Whether for Domestic Use, the Markets, or Exhibition
The first edition of this work was published in 1867, its Object being to give practical details in such a practical way that it might be put into the hands of a person totally ignorant of poultry-keeping, with the reasonable certainty that its instructions would be understood by him, and if followed would command success. The writer does not think now, any more than then, that such a work previously existed and such an implied Opinion may possibly account for the singular hostility with which his own efforts were then received and reviewed by some who claimed to be the leading authorities in the poultry world. Time proves all things, however and the constant demand for rapidly succeeding editions has proved that the practical poultry keeper did fulfil its intended purpose, and supply some real Want, and was both understood by, and welcome to, the people for whom it was written.
