Translation.

To the most learned man, and his especial patron, H. Perne,
most worthy Dean of Ely Cathedral church, Abraham
Fleming dedicates.

Not many years ago (O best of patrons) a man most advised in every
branch of life; one who has deserved well of the company of the learned;
bound by the ties of family to yourself; a most shining light of the
University of Cambridge; its jewel and glory, John Caius, wrote not
without elegance to Conrad Gesner, a man exceedingly skilled and saga-
cious in the investigation of recondite matters ; a man armed with every-
thing that relates to natural history ; the same man wrote an epitome
concerning British dogs, not so concise as elegant and useful; an
epitome compact of the various arguments and experiences of many
minds; a book which when by chance I had met with it, and was covered
with delight with the novelty of its appearance, [attempted to translate
into English. After I had finished my task, a sudden conceit arose in
me touching the dedication of the pamphlet, and after tossing many
thoughts to and fro, the recollections (most ornate sir) of your benefits,
as a ruddy star, by the splendour of its radiance, dissipates the misty
clouds of the most foul oblivion, and brings a serenity brighter than
that of the sun to the memory, shone on me; and that sentiment of
‘duty which shaken by the most deadly bolts of hostile fortune torn and
convulsed, had almost died, collected its shattered and most weakened
strength, recovered its pristine vigour, and at last, from that bog of
Lethe, nobly extricated itself and emerged. Out of which whirlpool as soon
as it had escaped, it so flourished and so increased that it caught every
cell of my mind under the influence of its rule and command. Now,
however, I cease not to be occupied in the contemplation of your merits,
the magnitude of which can scarcely be circumscribed in my thin coarse
and slight thread of speech. This fact, by Jove, does not move me lightly,
distresses me in no common manner, and pricks me with no shallow
wound. There is besides another cause, which makes me pause, and in
some manner tortures me, namely the suspicion of ingratitude, from
which, as from another Lernean hydra, I have ever fied (as the phrase
runs) with Achillean feet, and still I very much fear lest delay and pro-
crastination of my duty brand my name with a shameful mark of care-
lessness. This so much the more I fear because that truth and common

verse of the poet comes into my mind
It is a shame always to receive and never to give.

But (O most ornate Sir!) however the fear of that ill mightily stirs and

Translation (continued).

discomposes me, yet the expectation of another good, that is of your
humanity, in which quality you shine far beyond other men, restores and
buoys me up. That gentle and excellent hope commands and exhorts me
to produce some specimen or token of my duty, however small, with
alacrity. By these inducements conquered, I proposed free interpreta-
tion into English of the treatise on British dogs, and have dedicated it to
you rather than to anyone else as my one patron, and unique Mecenas.
Not because I supposed that the unmeasurable sea of your merits could
be gaged by so jejune and poor a gift; not because I was anxious to
weary your sacred and religious years with the explanation of a profane
page ; nor because I supposed that you would be delighted with idle and
frivolous matter, occupied as you are entirely in divine lucubrations, but
rather (if I may be believed) because that egregious and noble prince of
the liberal arts, and more especially of the faculty of medicine, whe
composed this work, so flourished while he lived, and obtained so
brilliant a fame, that I know not honestly to confess what I feel, if after
his death, he has left any like him. Lastly because he had sent this
little book to Conrad Gesner, elaborated with the utmost industry into
lands beyond the sea, to a man remarkable for his knowledge of all kinds
of literature, and especially for his acquaintance with occult matters,
which is settled in the inmost bowels and marrows of Nature (O talent
worthy of a white stone !), whose difficulties, entangled by Labyrinthian
windings and tortuous flexuosities I have investigated (O good God! how
great a labour and how infinite a travail!) which raised such favour and
conciliation in the breast of Conrad Gesner, that he not only received it
with a friendly kiss, but also read it studiously, and used it accurately,
with the inexhausted strength by which the dragon guards the fleece of
gold, and kept it with more vigilant eyes than the eagle. Lastly, since
we have heard that this epitome was written by a truly learned man to a
man adorned with the highest celebrity of fame, so the epitome, in
English speech, however inelegant, is yet common and popular to your
hands. O most erudite Sir, I beseech you to command, that under
your patronage, it may boldly go forth into all parts of our coun-
try, and I solemnly pray you to receive from me this book bearing
a humble and obscure inscription, but embracing an argument new
and as yet unheard of; as well as entirely free from any Sybaritic

obscenity.
The most bounden to your service,
(Signed) ABRAHAM FLEMING.

To the well difpofed Reader.

|S euery mantfe/t effect proceedeth
| fr6 som certain cause, so the penning of this
| present abridgement (gentle and courteous
reader) issued from a speciall occasion. For
| Conradus Gesnerus, a man whiles he liued, of

incomparable knowledge, and manyfold expe-

‘ rience, being neuer satisfied with the sweete
sappe of ynderstanding, requested Johannes Caius a profound clarke
and a rauennous deuourer of learning (to his praise be it spoké,
though the language be somewhat homely) to write a breuiary or short
treatise of such dogges as were ingendred within the borders of England :
To the contentation of whose minde and the vtter accomplishement
of whose desire, Caius spared no study, (for the acquaintance which
was betweene them, as it was confirmed by continuaunce, and established
vpon vnfainednes, so was it sealed with vertue and honesty), withdrew
himself from no labour, repined at no paines, forsooke no trauaile, re-
fused no endeuour, finally pretermitted no opportunity or circumstaunce
which seemed pertinent and requisite to the performance of this litle
libell. In the whole discourse wherof, the booke, to consider the sub-
staunce, being but a pamphlet or skantling, the argument not so fyne and
affected, and yet the doctrine very profitable and necessarye, he vseth
such a smoothe and comely style, and tyeth his inuention to such metho-
dicall and orderly proceedings, as the elegantnes and neatnesse of his
Latine phrase (being pure, perfe-t, and vnmingled) maketh the matter
which of it selfe is very base and clubbishe, to appeare (shall I say

tollerable) nay rather commendable and effectuall. The sundry sortes of

To to Reader.

Englishe dogges he discouereth so euidently, their natures he rippeth
vp so apparently, their manners he openeth so manifestly, their qualities
he declareth so skilfully, their proportions he painteth out so perfectly,
their colours he describeth so artificially, and knytteth all these in such
shortnesse and breuity, that the mouth of th’adversary must needes
confesse & giue sentence that commendation ought to bee his rewarde,
and praise his deserued pension. Anignoraunt man woulde neuer have
beene drawne into this opinion, to thincke that there had bene in England
such variety & choice of dogges, in all respectes (not onely for name
but also for qualitie) so diuerse and ynlike. But what cannot learning
attaine? what cannot the kay of knowledge open? what cannot
the lampe of vnderstanding lighten? what secretes cannot discretion
detect? finally what cannot experience comprehend ? what huge heapes
of histories hath Gesnerus hourded vp in volumes of a large syze?
Fishes in floudes, Cattell on lande, Byrdes in the ayre, how hath he sifted
them by their naturall differences, how closely and in how narrow a com-
passe hath he couched mighty and monstruous beasts, in bygnesse lyke
mountaines, the bookes themselues being lesser then Molehilles. The
lyfe of this man was not so great a restrority of comfort, as his death
was an vicer or wound of sorrow; the losse of whom Caius lamented, not
so much as he was his faithfull friende, as for that he was a famous
Philosopher, and yet the former reason (being in very deede vehement
and forceable) did stinge him with more griefe, then he peraduenture
was willing to disclose. And though death be counted terrible for the
time, and consequently vnhappy, yet Caius aduoucheth the death of
Gesner most blessed, luckie, and fortunate, as in his Booke intituled
De libris propijs, appeareth. But of these two Eagles sufficient is
spoken as I suppose, and yet litle enough in consideration of their
dignitie and worthines. Neurthelesse litle or mickle, something or

nothing, substaunce or shadow take all in good part, my meaning is by a

Buplishe Translation as for the singular commendation of them, challenged
of dutie and desart. Wherefore gentle Reader I commit them to thy
memorie, and their bookes to thy courteous censure. They were both
learned men, and painefull practitioners in their professions, so much
the more therfore are their workes worthy estimation, I would it were
in me to advaunce them as I wishe, the worst (and yet both, no doubt,
excellent) hath deserued a monument of immortality. Well there is no
more to be added but this, that as the translatio of this booke was
attempted, finished, and published of goodwill (not onely to administer
pleasure, asto affoord profit) so it is my desire ard request that my
labour therin employed may be acceptable, as I hope it shalbe to men
of indifferent iudgement. As for such as shall snarr and suatch at the
Englishe abrydgement, and te are the Translatour, being absent, with the
teeth of spightfull enuye, I conclude in breuity there eloquence is but
currishe, if I serue in their meat with wrong sawce, ascribe it not to vn-
skilfulnesse in coquery, but to ignoraunce in their diet, for as the Poet

sayeth

Non satis est ars sola cuquo, seuire palato :
Nanque coquus domini debet habere gulam:

It is not enough that a cooke ynderstand,
Except his Lordes stomack he holde in his hand.

To winde vp all in a watcheworde I saye no more, But doe well, and

of Beastes, Byrdes, and Fyshes, the sundry

I wrote moreouer, ynto you seuerally, a cer-

of Beastes in the seconde order of mylde and tameable Beastes,
where you make mencion of Scottishe Dogges, and in the wynding vp
of your Letter written and directed to Doctour Turner, comprehending
a Catalogue or rehersall of your bookes not yet extant, you promised
to set forth in print, and openly to publishe in the face of the worlde
among such your workes as are not yet come abroade to lyght and

breuary of Englishe Dogges (as seemed vnto mee), I stayed the publi-
cation of the same, making promise to send another abroade, which
myght be commytted to the handes, the eyes, the eares, the mindes,

and capeable of all kinde of knowledge, and very earnest to be
acquainted with all experimentes: I wyll expresse and declare in due
erder, the grand and generall kinde of English Dogges, the difference
of them, the vse, the propertyes and the diuerse natures of the same,

making a tripartite diuision in this sort and maner.

A gentle kinde, seruing the

game.
All English Dogges )A homely kind, apt for sun-
be eyther of, dry necessary vses.

A currishe kinde, meete for
many toyes.

Of these three sortes or kindes so meane I to entreate, that the first
in the first place, the last in the last roome, and the myddle sort in the
middle seate be handled. I cal thé vniuersally all by the name of
Englishe dogges, as well because England only, as it hath in it English
dogs, so it is not without Scottishe, as also for that wee are more
inclined and delighted with the noble game of hunting, for we English-
men are adicted and giuen to that exercise, and painefull pastime of
pleasure, as well for the plenty of fleshe which our Parkes and Forests
doe fasion, as also for the opertunitie and conuenient leisure which
wee obtaine, both which, the Scottes want. Wherefore seeing that the
whole estate of kindly hunting consisteth principally,

In these two ( In chasing the beast ) that ( hunting }

It is necessary and requisite to vnderstand, that there are two sortes
of Dogges by whose meanes, the feates within specifyed are wrought,

and these practyces of actiuetie cunningly and curiously compassed.

Englifhe Dogges. 3

Both which kyndes are tearmed of the Latines by one common name
that is, Canes Venatici, hunting dogges. But because we Englishe men
make a difference betweene hunting and fowleing, for that they are
called by these seurall wordes, Venatio ¢ Aucupium, so they tearme
the Dogges whom they vse in these sundry games by diuers names, as
those which serue for the beast, are called Venatici, the other which are

vsed for the fowle are called Aucupatorij.

Of the Dogge called a Harrier, in

Latine Leuerarius.

Hat kinde of dogge whom nature hath indued with the vertue of
ae whose property it is to vse a lustines, a readines,
and a courageousnes in hunting, and draweth into his nostrells the
ayre or sent of the beast pursued and followed, we call by this word
Sagaz, the Greciams by thys word syvevriw of tracing or chasing by ¥
foote, or sivvadciv of the nostrells, which be the instrumentes of
smelling. Wee may knowe these kinde of Dogges by their long,
large, and bagging lippes, by their hanging eares, reachyng downe
both sydes of their chappes, and by the indifferent and measurable
proportion of their making. This sort of Dogges we call Lewararios
Hariers, that I may comprise the whole naber of them in certaine
specialties, and apply to them their proper and peculier names, for

so much as they cannot all be reduced and brought vnder one

of their seruice whereto they be appointed.

some for another.

As for the Conny, whom we haue lastly set downe, wee use not to hunt,
but rather to take it, somtime with the nette sometime with the ferret,
and thus euery seuerall sort is notable and excellent in his naturall
qualitie and appointed practice. Among these sundry sortes, there be
some which are apt to hunt two diuers beastes, as the Foxe otherwhiles,
and other whiles the Hare, but they hunt not with such towardnes and
good lucke after them, as they doe that whereunto nature hath formed
and framed them, not onely in externall composition & making, but
also inward faculties and conditions, for they swarue sometimes, and doo

otherwise then they should.

Of the Dogge called Terrar, in

Latine Zerrarius.

A Nother sorte there is which hunteth the Foxe and the Badger or
d Greye onely, whom we call Terrars, because they (after the manner
and custome of ferrets in searching for Connyes) creepe into the grounde,

and by that meanes make afrayde, nyppe, and byte the Foxe and the

Englifhe Dogges. 5
Badger in such sort, that eyther they teare them in pieces with theyr
teeth beyng in the bosome of the earth, or else hayle and pull them
perforce out of their lurking angles, darke dongeons, and close caues, or
at the least through céceued feare, driue them out of their hollow har-
bours, in so much that they are compelled to prepare speedy flight, and
being desirous of the next (albeit not the safest) refuge, are otherwise
taken and intrapped with snares and nettes layde ouer holes to the same

purpose. But these be the least in that kynde called Sagaz.

Of the Dogge called a Bloudhounde in

Latine Sanguinarius.

He greater sort which serue to hunt, hauing lippes of a large syze
a eares of no small lenght, doo, not onely chase the beast whiles
it liveth (as the other doo of whom mencion aboue is made) but beyng
dead also by any maner of casualtie, make recourse to the place where it
lyeth, hauing in this poynt an assured and infallible guyde, namely, the
sent and sauour of the bloud sprinckled heere and there vpon the ground.
For whether the beast beyng wounded, doth notwithstanding enioye life,
and escapeth the handes of the huntesman, or whether the said beast
beyng slayne is conuayed clenly out of the parcke (so that there be
some signification of blond shed) these Dogges with no lesse facilitie
and easinesse, then auiditie and greedinesse, can disclose and bewray the
same by smelling, applying to their pursuit, agilitie and nimblenesse, with-
out tediousnesse, for which consideration, of a singuler specialitie they
deserued to bee called Sanguinarij bloudhounds. And albeit peraduen-
ture it may chaunce, (As whether it chaunceth sealdome or sometime I am
ignorant) that a peece of fleshe be subtily stolne and conningly conuayed
away with such prouisos and precaueats as thereby all apparaunce of

bloud is eyther preuented, excluded, or concealed, yet these kinde of

6 A treatife of

dogges by a certaine direcion of an inwarde assured notyce and priuy
marcke, pursue the deede dooers, through long lanes, crooked reaches,
and weary wayes, without wandring awry out of the limites of the land
whereon those desperate purloyners prepared their speedy passage. Yea,
the natures of these Dogges is such, and so effectuall is their foresight,
that they cai bewray, seperate, and pycke them out from among an in-
finite multitude and an innumerable company, creepe they neuer so
farre into the thickest thronge, they will finde him out notwith-
standyng he lye hidden in wylde woods, in close and ouergrowen
groues, and lurcke in hollow holes apte to harbour such yngracions
guestes. Moreouer, although they should passe ouer the water, thinking
thereby to auoyde the pursute of the houndes, yet will not these dogges
giue ouer their attempt, but presuming to swym through the streame,
perseuer in their pursute, and when they be arriued and gotten the
furthen bancke, they hunt vp and downe, to and fro runne they, from
place to place shift they, vntil they haue attained to that plot of
grounde where they passed ouer. And this is their practise, if perdie
they canot at y’ first time smelling, finde ont the way which the deede
dooers tooke to escape. So at length get they that by arte, cunning,

to bee as it were naturally instilled and powered into these kinde of
dogges. For they wyll not pause or breath from their pursute vntill such

owners of such houndes vse to keepe them in close and darke channells

impudent pageants, and imprudent pranckes. These houndes (vpon
whom this present portion of our treatise runneth) when they are to
follow such fellowes as we haue before rehersed, vse not that liberty to
raunge at wil, which they have otherwise when they are in game (except
upon necessary occasion, whereon dependeth an urgent an effectuall
perswasion), when such purloyners make spzedy way in flight, but
beyng restrained and drawne backe from running at random with the
leasse, the ende whereof the owner holding in his hand is led, guyded and
directed with such swiftenesse and slownesse (whether he go on foote or
whether he ryde on horsebacke), as he himselfe in harte would wishe for
the more easie apprehension of these venturous varlots. In the borders
of England and Scotland (the often and accustomed stealing of cattell so
procuring) these kinde of Dogges are very much vsed and they are
taught and trayned up first of all to hunt cattell as well of the smaller
as of the greater grouth, and afterwardes (that qualitie relinquished and
lefte) they are learned to pursue such pestilent persons as plant theyr
pleasure in such practises of purloyning as we have already declared. Of
this kinde there is nene that taketh the water naturally, except it please
you so to suppose of them whych follow the Otter, whych sometimes
haunte the lande, and sometime useth the water. And yet neuerthelesse
all the kind of them boyling and boyling with greedy desire of the pray
which by swymming passeth through riuer and flood, plung amyds the
water, and passe the streame with their pawes. But this propertie
proceedeth from an earnest desire wherwith they be inflamed, rather
then from any inclination issuyng from the ordinance and appoyntment
of nature. And albeit some of this sort in English be called Brache, in
Scottishe Rache, the cause hereof resteth in the shee sex and not in the
generall kinde, for we English men call bytches belonging to the hunting
kinde of Dogges, by the tearme aboue mencioned. To bee short it is

proper to the nature of houndes, some to keepe silence in hunting untill

such tyme as there is game offered. Other some so soone as they smell
out the place where the beast lurcketh, to bewray it immediately by
their importunate barcking, notwithstanding it be farre of many furlongs
cowchyng close in his cabbyn. And these Dogges the younger they
be, the more wantonly barcke they, and the more liberally, yet
oftimes without necessitie, so that in them, by reason of theyr young
yeares and want of practise, small certaintie is to be reposed. For con-
tinuance of tyme, and experience in game, ministreth to these houndes
not onely cunning in running, but also (as in the rest) an assured fore-
sight what is to bee done, principally, being acquainted with their
masters watchwordes, eyther in reuoking or imboldening them to serue

the game.

Of the Dogge called the Gasehounde, in

Latine Agaseus.

His kinde of Dogge which pursueth by the eye, preuayleth little, or
bes: a whit, by any benefite of the nose that is by smelling, but
excelleth in perspicuitie and sharpenesse of sight altogether, by the
vertue whereof, being singuler and notable, it hunteth the Foxe and the
Hare. Thys Dogge will choose and seperate any beast from among
a great flocke or hearde, and such a one will it take by election as is
not lancke, leane and hollow, but well spyed, smoothe, full, fatte,
and round, it followes by the direction of the eyesight, which in deede
is cleere constant, and not uncertaine, if a beast be wounded and gone
astray this Dogge seeketh after it by the steadfastnes of the eye, if it
chaunce peraduenture to returne and be mingled with the residue of the
flocke, this Dogge spyeth it out by the vertue of his eye, leaning the
rest of the cattell vntouched, and after he hath set sure sight upo

it, he seperateth it from among the company and hauing so done neuer

ceaseth untill he haue wearyed the Beast to death. Our countrey
men call this dogge Agaseum. A gasehounde because the beames
of his sight are so stedfastly setled and vnmoueably fastened. These
Dogges are much and vsually occupyed in the Northern partes of Eng-
land more then in the Southern parts, and in fealdy landes rather then
in bushy and wooddy places, horsemen vse them more then footemen to
th’intent that they might prouoke their horses to a swift galloppe (wher-
with they are more delighted then with the pray it selfe), and that they
might accustome theyr horse to leape ouer hedges and ditches, without
stoppe or stumble, without harme or hassard, without doubt or daunger,
and so escape with safegard of lyfe. And to the ende that the ryders
themselues when necessitie so constrained, and the feare of further mis-
chiefe inforced, myght saue themselues vndamnifyed, and preuent each
perilous tempest by preparing speedy flight, or else by swift pursute made
vpon theyr enimyes, myght both ouertake them, encounter with them,
and make a slaughter of them accordingly. But if it fortune so at any
time that this Dogge take a wrong way, the master making some vsual
signe and familiar token, he returneth forthwith, and taketh the right
and ready trace, beginning his chase a fresh, & with a cleare voyce, and
a swift foote followeth the game with as much courage and nimblenesse
as he did at the first.

Of the Dogge called the Grehounde, in

Latine Leporarius.

Here is another kinde of Dogge which for his incredible swiftnesse
a called Leporarius a Grehounde because the principall sernice of
them dependeth and consisteth in starting and hunting the hare, which
Dogges likewyse are indued with no lesse strength then lightnes in main-

tenance of the game, in seruing the chase, in taking the Bucke, the

Harte, the Dowe, the Foxe, and other beastes of semblable kinde ordained
for the game of hunting. But more or lesse, each one according to the
measure and proportion of theyr desire, and as might and habilitie of
theyr bodyes will permit and suffer. For it is a spare and bare kinde of
Dogge, (of fleshe but not of bone) some are of a greater sorte, and some
of a lesser, some are smooth skynned & some are curled, the bigger
therefore are appoynted to hunt the bigger beasts, & the smaller
serue to hunt the smaller accordingly. The nature of these dogges I
find to be wonderful by y’ testimoniall of histories. For, as John
Froisart the Historiographer in his 4. lib. reporteth. A Grehound of King
Richard, the second y’ wore the Crowne and bare the Scepter of the
Realme of England, neuer knowing any man, beside the Kings person,
whé Henry Duke of Lancaster came to the castle of Flinte to take King
Richarde. The Dogge forsaking his former Lord & master came to
Duke Henry, fawned upon him with such resemblaunces of goodwyll
and conceaued affection, as he fauoured King Richarde before: he
followed the Duke, and vtterly left the King. So that by these
manifest circumstances a man myght iudge this Dogge to haue bene
lightened wyth the lampe of foreknowledge & vnderstading, touch-
yng his olde masters miseryes to come, and vnhappinesse nye at hand,
which King Richarde himselfe euidently perceaued, accounting this

deede of his Dogge a Prophecy of his ouerthrowe.

Of the Dogge called the Leuiner, or Lyemmer

in Latine Lorarius.

Nother sort of dogges be there, in smelling singuler, and in
yarns incomparable. This is (as it were) a myddle kinde
betwixt the Harier and the Grehounde, as well for his kinde, as for
the frame of his body. And it is called in latine Leuinarius, a Leuitate,

Englifhe Dogges. II

of lyghtnesse, and therefore may well be called a lyght hounde, it is
also called by this worde Lorarius, a Loro, wherewith it is led. This
Dogge for the excellency of his conditions, namely smelling and swift
running, doth followe the game with more eagernes, and taketh the pray

with aiolly quicknes.

Of the Dogge called a Tumbler, in
Latine Vertagus.

His sorte of Dogges, which compasseth all by craftes, fraudes,
lee and deceiptes, we Englishe men call Tymblers, because in
hunting they turne and tumble, winding their bodyes about in circle wise,
and then fearcely and violently venturing upé the beast, doth soddenly
gripe it, at the very entrance and mouth of their receptacles, or closets
before they can recouer meanes, to saue and succour themselves. This
dogge vseth another craft and subteltie, namely, when he runneth into a
warren, or setteth a course about a connyburrough, he huntes not after
them, he frayes them not by barcking, he makes no countenance or
shadow of hatred against them, but dissembling friendship, and pretend-
ing fauour, passeth by with silence and quietnesse, marking and noting
their holes diligently, wherin (I warrant you) he will not be ouershot
nor deceaued. When he commeth to the place where Connyes be, of a
certaintie, he cowcheth downe close with his belly to the groad, Pro-
vided alwayes by his skill and polisie, that y’ the winde bee neuer with
him but against him in such an enterprise. And that the Connyes
spie him not where he lurcketh. By which meanes he obtaineth the sent
and sauour of the Connyes, carryed towardes him with the wind & the
ayre, either going to their holes, or coming out, eyther passing this way,
or running that way, and so prouideth by his circumspection, that the

selly simple Conny is debarred quite from his hole (which is the hauen

12 A treattfe of

of their hope and the harbour of their health) and fraudulently cireum-
uented and taken, before they can get the aduantage of their hole. Thus
hauing caught his pray he carryeth it speedily to his Master, wayting
his Dogges returne in some conuenient lurcking corner. These Dogges
are somewhat lesser than the houndes, and they be lancker & leaner,
beside that they be somwhat prick eared. A man that shall marke the
forme and fashion of their bodyes, may well call them mungrell
Grehoundes if they were somwhat bigger. But notwithstanding they
counteruaile not the Grehound in greatnes, yet will he take in one
dayes space as many Connyes as shall arise to as bigge a burthen, and as
heauy a loade as a horse can carry, for deceipt and guile is the instru-
ment wherby he maketh this spoyle, which pernicious properties supply

the places of more commendable qualities.

Of the Dogge called the theeuishe Dogge

in Latine Candis furax.

fa like to that whom we have rehearsed, is the theeuishe Dogge,

which at the mandate and byddihg of his master steereth and
leereth abroade in the night, hunting Connyes by the ayre, which is

leuened with their sauer and conueyed to the sense of smelling by the
meanes of the winde blowing towardes him. During all which space of
his hunting he will not barcke, least he shoulde bee preuidiciall to his
owne aduantage. And thus watcheth and snatcheth up in course as
many Connyes as his Master will suffer him, and beareth them to his
Masters standing. The farmers of the countrey and uplandishe dwellers,
call this kinde of Dogge a nyght curre, because he hunteth in the darke,

Some be called
Dogges,

The common sort of people call them by one generall word, namely
Spaniells. As though these kinde of Dogges came originally and first of
all out of Spaine, The most part of their skynnes are white, and if they
be marcked with any spottes, they are commonly red, and somewhat
great therewithall, the heares not growing in such thicknesse but that
the mixture of them maye easely be perceaued. Othersome of them be
reddishe and blackishe, but of that sorte there be but a veryfew. There
is also at this day among vs a newe kinde of dogge brought out of Fraunce
(for we Englishe men are maruailous greedy gaping gluttons after
nouelties, and couetous coruorauntes of things that be seldom, rare,
straunge, and hard to get.) And they bee speckled all ouer with white and
black, which mingled colours incline to a marble blewe, which bewtifyeth
their skinnes and affordeth a seemely show of comlynesse. These are

called French dogges as is aboue declared already.

The Dogge called the Setter, in La-

tine Zudex.

Nother sort of Dogges be there, scruiceable for fowling, making
A. noise either with foote or with tounge, whiles they followe the
game. These attend diligently vpon theyr Master and frame their
conditions to such beckes, motions, and gestures, as it shall please
him to exhibite and make, either going forward, drawing backeward,
inclining to the right hand, or yealding toward the left, (In making
mencion of fowles my meaning is of the Partridge and the Quaile)
when he hath founde the byrde, he keepeth sure and fast silence,

10 A treatife of

close, couert, watching eye, layeth his belly to the grounde and
so creepeth forward like a worme. When he approcheth neere to
the place where the birde is, he layes him downe, and with a marcke
of his pawes, betrayeth the place of the byrdes last abode, whereby
it is supposed that this kinde of dogge is called Index, Setter, being
in deede a name most consonant and agreable to his quality. The
place being knowne by the meanes of the dogge, the fowler immediatly
openeth and spreedeth his net, intending to take them, which being done
the dogge at the accustomed becke or vsuall signe of his Master ryseth
vp by and by, and draweth neerer to the fowle that by his presence they
might be the authors of their owne insnaring, and be ready intangled in
the prepared net, which conning and artificiall indeuour in a dogge
(being a creature domesticall or householde sernaunt brought vp at home
with offalls of the trencher and fragments of victualls) is not much to be
maruailed at, seing that a Hare (being a wilde and skippishe beast) was
seene in England to the astonishment of the beholders, in the yeare of our
Lorde God, 1564 not onely dauncing in measure, but playing with his
former feete vppon a tabbaret, and obseruing iust number of strokes (as
a practicioner in that arte) besides that nipping & pinching a dogge
with his teeth and clawes, & cruelly thumping him with y’ force of his
feete. This is no trumpery tale, nor trifling toye (as I imagine) and
therefore not vnworthy to be reported, for I recken it a requitall of my
trauaile, not to drowne in the seas of silence any speciall thing, wherein

the prouidence and effectuall working of nature isto be pondered.

Of the Dogge called the water Spaniell, or finder,

in Latine Aquaticus seuinquisitor.

(al kinde of dogge whose seruice is required in fowling vpon the
water, partly through a naturall towardnesse, and partly by

diligent teaching, is indued with that property. This sort is somewhat
bigge, and of a measurable greatnesse, hauing long, rough, and curled
heare, not obtayned by extraordinary trades, but giuen by natures
appointment, yet neuerthelesse (friend Gesner) I have described and
set him out in this maner, namely powlde and notted from the
shoulders to the hindermost legges, and to the end of his tayle,
which I did for use and customs cause, that beyng as it were
made somewhat bare and naked, by shearing of such superfiuitie
of heare, they might atchine the more lightnesse, and swiftnesse,
and be lesse hindered in swymming, so troublesome and needelesse
a burthen being shaken of. This kinde of dogge is properly called
Aquaticus, a water spaniel because he frequenteth and hath vsual
recourse to the water where all his game & exercise lyeth, namely,
waterfowles, which are taken by the helpe & seruice of them, in their
kind. And principally duckes and drakes, wherupon he is lykewise
named a dogge for the ducke, because in that qualitie he is excellent.
With these dogges also we fetche out of the water such fowle as be
stounge to death by any venemous worme, we vse them also to bring
vs our boultes & arrowes out of the water (missing our marcke)
whereat we directed our leuell, which otherwise we should hardly recouer,
and oftentimes the restore to vs our shaftes which we thought neuer to
see, touche or handle againe, after they were lost, for which circum-
staunces they are called Inqwisitores, searchers, and finders. Although
the ducke otherwhiles notably deceaueth both the dogge and the master,
by dyuing vnder the water, and also by naturall subtilty, for if any man
shall approche to the place where they builde, breede, and syt, the hennes
go out of their neastes, offering themselues voluntarily to the hads, as it
were, of such as draw nie their neastes. And a certaine weaknesse of
their winges pretended, and infirmitie of their feete dissembled, they go

so slowely and so leasurely, that to a mans thinking it wereno masteryes

18 A treattfe of

to take them. By which deceiptfull tricke they doe as it were entyse
and allure men to follow them, till they be drawne a long distaunce
from theyr neastes, which being compassed by their prouident con-
ning, or conning providence they cut of all inconueniences which might
growe of their returne, by using many carefull and curious caucates, least
theyr often haunting bewray y° place where the young ducklings be
hatched. Great therefore is theyr desire, & earnest is theyr study to
take heede, not only to theyr broode but also to themselues. For when
they haue an ynkling that they are espied they hide themselves vnder
turfes or sedges, wherewith they couer and shrowde themselues so closely
and so craftely, that (notwithstanding the place where they lurke be
found and perfectly perceaued) there they will harbour without harme,
except the water spaniell by quicke smelling discouer theyr deceiptes.

Of the Dogge called the Fisher, in Latine

Canis Piscator.

He Dogge called the fisher, whereof Hector Boethus writeth, which
i aan for fishe by smelling among rockes & stones, assuredly I
knowe none of that kinde in Englande, neither haue I receaued by reporte
that there is any suche, albeit I haue been diligent & busie in demaunding
the question as well of fishermen, as also of huntesmen in that behalfe
being carefull and earnest to learne and ynderstand of them if any such
were, except you holde opinion that the beauer or Otter is a fishe (as many
haue beleeued) & according to their beliefe affirmed, and as the birde
Pupine, is thought to be a fishe and so accounted. But that kinde of
dogge which followeth the fishe to apprehend and take it (if there bee any
of that disposition and property) whether they do this for the game of
hunting, or for the heate of hunger, as other Dogges do which rather then

they wil be famished for want of foode, couet the carckases of carrion and

putrifyed fleshe. When I am fully resolued and disburthened of this
doubt I wil send you certificate in writing. In the meane season I am
not ignorant of that both Hlianus, and #lius call the Beauer xtvarorausoy
a water dogge, or a dogge fishe, I know likewise thus much more, that
the Beauer doth participate this propertie with the dogge, namely, that
when fishes be scarse they leaue the water and raunge vp and downe the
lande, making an insatiable slaughter of young lembes vnutil theyr
paunches be replenished, and whé they haue fed themselues full of fleshe,
then returne they to the water, from whence they came. But albeit so
much be graunted that this Beauer is a dogge, yet it is to be noted that we
recken it not in the beadrowe of Englishe dogges as we haue done the
rest. The sea Calfe, in like maner, which our country mé for breuitie
sake call a Seele, other more largely name a Sea Vele maketh a spoyle of
fishes betweene rockes and banckes, but it is not accounted in the
catalogue or niiber of our Englishe dogges, notwithstanding we call it by
the name of a Sea dogge or a sea Calfe. And thus much for our dogges
of the second sort called in Latine Acupatorij, seruing to take fowle

either by land or water.

abridgement.

Owe followeth in due order and con-
venient place our Englishe Dogges of the thirde
gentle kinde, what they are called to what vse
they serue, and what sort of people plant their
pleasure in thé, which because they neede no

curious canuassing and nye syfting, wee meane

to bee so much the briefer.

a =

Of the delicate, neate, and pretty kind of dogges
called the Spaniel gentle, or the com-
forter, in Latine J/eliteus

or Fotor.

Here is, besides those which wee haue already deliuered, another
x (eee of gentle dogges in this our Englishe soyle but exempted
from the order of the residue, the Dogges of this kinde doth Callimachus
call Melitwos, of the Iseland Melita, in the sea of Sictiy, (what at this
day is named Malta, an Iseland in deede famous and renoumed, with
couragious and puisaunt souldiours valliauntly fighting vnder the banner
of Christ their vnconquerable captaine) where this kind of dogges had
their principall beginning.
These dogges are litle, pretty, proper, and fyne, and sought for to
satisfie the delicatenesse of daintie dames, and wanton womens wills, in-
strumentes of folly for them to play and dally withall, to tryfle away the

treasure of time, to withdraw their mindes from more commendable

exercises, and to content their corrupted concupiscences with vaine dis-
port (A selly shift to shunne yrcksome ydlnesse.) These puppies the
smaller they be, the more pleasure they prouoke, as more meete play
fellowes for minsing mistrisses to beare in their bosoms, to keepe com-
pany withal in their chambers, to succour with sleepe in bed, and nourishe
with meate at bourde, to lay in their lappes, and licke their lippes as
they ryde in their waggons, and good reason it should be so, for course-
nesse with fynenesse hath no fellowship, but featnesse with neatenesse
hath neighbourhood enough. That plausible prouerbe verified vpon a
Tyraunt, namely that he loued his sowe better then his sonne, may well
be applyed to these kinde of people, who delight more in dogges that are
depriued of all possibility of reason, then they doe in children that be
capeable of wisedome and iudgement. But this abuse peraduenture
raigneth where there hath bene long lacke of issue, or else where barren-

nes is the best blossome of bewty.

The vertue which remaineth in the Spaniell gentle

otherwise called the comforter.

Otwithstanding many make much of those pretty puppies called
N Spaniells gentle, yet if the question were demaunded what propertie
in them they spye, which shoulde make them so acceptable and precious
in their sight, I doubt their aunswere would be long a coyning. But
seeing it was our intent to trauaile in this treatise, so that y° reader
might reape some benefite by his reading, we will communicate vnto you
such coniecures as are grounded upon reason. And though some suppose
that such dogges are fyt for no seruice, I dare say, by their leaues, they
be in a wrong boxe. Among all other qualities therefore of nature, which
be knowne (for some conditions are couered with continuall and thicke

clouds, that the eye of our capacities cannot pearse through thé) we find

22 A treatife of

that these litle doges are good to asswage the sicknesse of the stomacke
being oftentimes therevnto applyed as a plaster preseruatine, or borne
in the bosom of the diseased and weake person, which effect is per-
formed by theyr moderate heate. Moreouer the disease and sicknesse,
chaungeth his place and entreth (though it be not precisely marcked)
into the dogge, which to be no yntruth, experience can testify, for these
kinde of dogges sometimes fall sicke, and sometime die, without any
harm, outwardly inforced, which is an argument that the disease of the
gentleman or gentle woman or owner whatsoeuer, entreth into the dogge
by the operation of heate intermingled and infected. And thus haue I
hetherto handled dogges of a gentle kinde whom I haue comprehended
in a triple diuisié. Now it remaineth that I annex in due order such

dogges as be of a more homely kinde.

to see them, being a straunge beast, rare, and seldom seene in England.
But to returne to our shepherds dogge. This dogge either at the
hearing of his masters voyce, or at the wagging and whisteling in his
fist, or at his shrill and horse hissing bringeth the wandring weathers
and straying sheepe, into the selfe same place where his masters will
and wishe, is to haue thé, wherby the shepherd reapeth this benefite,
namely, that with litle labour and no toyle or mouing of his feete he
may rule and guide his flocke, according to his owne desire, either to
haue them go forward, or to stand still, or to drawe backward, or to_
turne this way, or to take that way. For it is not in Englande, as it is in
Fraunce, as it is in Flaunders, as it is in Syria, as it in Tartaria,
where the sheepe follow the shepherd, for heere in our country the
sheepherd followeth the sheepe. And sometimes the straying sheepe,
when no dogge runneth before them, nor goeth about & beside them,
gather themselues together in a flocke, when they heere the sheepherd
whistle in his fist, for feare of the Dogge (as I imagine) remembring
this (if vnreasonable creatures may be reported to haue memory) that
the Dogge commonly runneth out at his masters warrant which is his
whistle. This haue we oftentimes diligently marcked in taking our
journey from towne to towne, when wee haue hard a sheepherd whistle
we haue rayned in our horse and stoode styll a space, to see the proofe
and triall of this matter. Furthermore with this dogge doth the sheep-

herd take sheepe for y® slaughter, and to be healed if they be sicke,

no hurt or harme in the world done to the simple creature.

Of the mastiue or Bandogge called in Latine

Villaticus or Cathenarius.

His kinde of Dogge called a mastyue or Bandogge is vaste, huge,
ea. ougly, and eager, of a heuy and burthenous body, and
therefore but of litle swiftnesse, terrible, and frightfull to beholde, and
more fearce and fell then any Arcadian curre (notwithstading they
are sayd to haue their generation of the violent Lion.) They are called
Villatici, because they are appoynted to watche and keepe farme places
and coutry cotages sequestred from commé6 recourse, and not abutting
vpon other houses by reason of distaunce, when there is any feare conceaued
of theefes, robbers, spoylers, and night wanderers. They are seruiceable
against the Foxe and the Badger, to drive wilde and tame swyne out of
Medowes, pastures, glebelandes and places planted with fruite, to bayte
and take the bul! by the eare, when occasion so requireth. One dogge or
two at the vttermost, sufficient for that purpose be the bull neuer so mon-
sterous, neuer so fearce, neuer so furious, neuer so stearne, neuer so vntame-
able. For it is a kinde of dogge capeable of courage, violent and valiaunt,
striking could feare into the harts of men, but standing in feare of no
man, in so much that no weapons will make him shrincke, nor abridge his
boldnes. Our Englishe men (to th’ intent that theyr dogges might be the
more felland fearce) assist nature with arte, vse, and custome, for they
teach theyr dogges to baite the Beare, to baite the Bull and other such
like cruelland blondy beastes (appointing an ouerseer of the game) with-
out any collar to defend theyr throtes, and oftentimes they traine them vp
in fighting and wrestling with a man hauing for the safegarde of his lyfe,
eyther a Pikestaffe, a clubbe, or a sworde and by vsing them to such

exercises as these, theyr dogges become more sturdy and strong. The force

which is in them surmounteth all beleefe, the fast holde which they take
with their teeth exceedeth all credit, three of them against a Beare, fowre
against a Lyon are sufficient, both to try masteryes with them and vtterly
to ouermatch them. Which Henry the seuenth of that name, King of
England (a Prince both politique & warlike) perceauing on a certaine
time (as the report runneth) commaunded all such dogges (how many
soeuer they were in number) should be hanged, beyng deepely displeased,
and conceauing great disdaine that an yll faured rascall curre should with
such violent villany, assault the valiaunt Lyon king of all beastes. An
example for all subiects worthy remembraunce, to admonishe them that
it is no aduantage to them to rebell against y® regiment of their ruler,
but to keepe them within the limits of Loyaltie. I reede an history
aunswerable to this of the selfe same Henry, who hauing a notable and an
excellent fayre Falcon, it fortuned that the kings Falconers, in the
presence and hearing of his grace, highly commended his Maiesties
Falcon, saying that it feared not to intermeddle with an Eagle,
it was so venturous a byrde and so mighty, which when the King
harde, he charged that the Falcon should be Killed without delay,
for the selfe same reason (as it may seeme) which was rehersed in
the céclusion of the former history concerning the same king. This dogge
is called, in like maner, Cathenarius, a Cathena, of the chaine wherwith
he is tyed at the gates, in y® daytime, least beyng lose he should .doe
much mischiefe and yet might giue occasion of feare and terror by his
bigge barcking. And albeit Cicero in his oration had Pro. S. Ross. be of
this opinion, that such Dogges as barcke in the broade day light shoulde
haue their legges broken, yet our countrymen, on this side the seas for
their carelessnes of lyfe setting all at cinque and sice, are of a contrary
iudgement. For theefes roge vp and down in euery corner, no place is free
from them, no not y® prince’s pallace, nor the country mans cotage. In

the day time they practise pilfering, picking, open robbing, and priuy

stealing, and what legerdemaine lacke they: not fearing the shamefull and
horrible death of hanging. The cause of which inconuenience doth not
onely issue from nipping neede & wringing want, for all y® steale, are
not pinched with pouerty, but som steale to maintaine their excessive and
prodigall expences in apparell, their lewdnes of lyfe, their hautines of
hart, theyr wantonnes of maners, theyr wilfull ydlenes, their ambitious
brauery, and the pryde of the sawcey Salacones’ weyaroppodroy vaine
glorious and arrogant in behauiour, whose delight dependeth wholly to
mount nimbly on horsebacke, to make them leape lustely, spryng and
praunce, galloppe and amble, to runne a race, to wynde in compasse, and
so forthe, lining all together vpon the fatnesse of the spoyle. Other som
ther be which steale, being thereto prouoked by penury & neede, like
masterlesse mé applying themselues to no honest trade, but raunging vp
and downe impudently begging, and complayning of bodily weakenesse
where is no want of abilitie. But valiaunt Valentine th’emperour, by
holsome lawes prouided that suche as hauing no corporall sicknesse, solde
themselues to begging, pleded pouerty wyth pretended infirmitie, &
cloaked their ydle and slouthfull life with colourable shifts and cloudy
cossening, should be a perpetuall slaue and drudge to him, by whom
their impudent ydlenes was bewrayed, and layed against them in pub-
lique place, least the insufferable slouthfullnes of such vagabondes
should be burthenous to the people, or being so hatefull and odious,
should growe into an example. Alfredus likewise in the gouernment of
his commonwealth, procured such increase of credite to iustice and upright
dealing by his prudent actes and statutes, that if a ma trauailing by the
hygh way of the countrey vnder his dominion, chaunced to lose a
budget full of gold, or his capcase farsed with things of great
value, late in the euening, he shoulde find it where he lost it,
safe, sound, and vntouched the next morning, yea (which is a wonder) at

any time for a whole monethes space if he sought for it, as Ingulphus

28 A treatife of

Croyladensis in his Hystory recordeth. But in this our vnhappy age, in
these (I say) our deuelishe dayes nothing can scape the clawes of the
spoyler, though it be kept neuer so sure within the house, albeit the
doores bee lockt and boulted round about. This dogge in like maner of
Grecians is called cizoupos
Of the latinists Canzs Cultos, in Englishe
the Dogge keeper.

Borrowing his name of his seruice, for he doth not onely keepe farmers
houses, but also merchaunts maisons, wherin great wealth, riches, sub-
staunce and costly stuffe is reposed. And therfore were certain dogges
founde and maintained at the common costes aed charges of the Citizens
of Rome in the place called Capitolium, to giue warning of theefes
comming. This kind of dogge, is also called,

In latine Canzs Lantarius in Englishe the
Butchers Dogge

So called for the necessity of his vse, for his seruice affoordeth great
benefite to the Butcher as well in following as in taking his cattell when
neede constraineth, vrgeth, and requireth. This kinde of dogge is like-
wise called,

In latine Molosscicus or Molossus.

After the name of a countrey in Epirus called Molossia, which harboureth
many stoute, stronge, and sturdy Dogges of this sort, for the dogges of
that countrey are good in deede, or else there is no trust to be had in the
testimonie of writers. This dogge is also called,

In latine Canzs Mandatarius a Dogge messin-
ger or Carrier.

Upon substanciall consideration, because at his masters voyce and
commaundement, he carrieth letters from place to place, wrapped vp
cunningly in his lether collar, fastened thereto, or sowed close therin,

who, least he should be hindered in his passage vseth these helpes very

skilfully, namely resistaunce in fighting if he be not ouermatched, or
else swiftnesse & readinesse in running away, if he be ynable to buckle
with the dogge that would faine have a snatch at his skinne This kinde
of dogge is also called,
Tn latine Canis Lunarius, in Englishe
the Mooner.

Because he doth nothing else but watch and warde at an ynche, wasting
the wearisome night season without slombering or sleeping, bawing &
wawing at the Moone (that I may vse the word of Noniuvs) a qualitie
in mine opinion straunge to consider. This kinde of dogge is also

called,
In latine Aquarius in Englishe a water drawer.

And these be of the greater and the waighter sort drawing water out
of wells and deepe pittes, by a wheele which they turne rounde about
by the mouing of their burthenous bodies. This kinde of dogge is
called in like maner.

Canis Sarcinarius in Latine, and may aptly be eng-
lished a Tynckers Curre.

Because with marueilous pacience they beare bigge budgettes fraught
with Tinckers tooles, and mettall meete to mend kettles, porrige pottes,
skellets, and chafers, and other such like trumpery requisite for their
occupacion and loytering trade, easing him of a great burthen which
otherwise he himselfe should carry vpon his shoulders, which condition
hath challenged vnto them the foresaid name. [Besides the qualities
which we haue already recounted, this kind of dogges hath this prin-
cipall propertie ingrafted in them, that they loue their masters liberally,
and hate straungers despightfully, wherevpon it followeth that they are
to their masters, in traueiling a singular safgard, defending them force-
ably, from the inuasion of villons and theefes, preseruing their lyfes from
losse, and their health from hassard, theyr fleshe from hacking and

hewing with such like desperate daungers, For which consideration they
are meritoriously tearmed,
In Latine Canes defensores defending dogges
in our mother toungue.

If it chaunce that the master bee oppressed, either by a multitude, or
by the greater violence & so be beaten downe that he lye groueling on
the grounde, (it is proued true by experience) that this Dogge forsaketh
not his master, no not when he is starcke deade: But induring the force
of famishment and the outrageous tempestes of the weather, most
vigilantly watcheth and carefully|keepeth the deade carkasse many dayes,
endeuouring, furthermore, to kil the murtherer of his master, if he may
get any advantage. Or else by barcking, by howling, by furious iarring,
snarring, and such like meanes betrayeth the malefactour as desirous to
haue the death of his aforesayde Master rigorouslye reuenged. And
example hereof fortuned within the compasse of my memory. The Dogge
of a certaine wayefaring man trauailing from the Citie of London directly
to the Towne of Kingstone (most famous and renowned by reason of the
triumphant coronation of eight seuerall Kings) passing ouer a good
portion of his iourney was assaulted and set vpon by certaine confederate
theefes laying in waight for the spoyle in Comeparcke, a perillous bottom,
compassed about wyth woddes to well knowne for the manyfolde
murders & mischiefeous robberies theyr committed. Into whose handes
this passinger chaunced to fall, so that his ill lucke cost him the price
of his lyfe. And that Dogge whose syer was Englishe (which Blondus
registreth to haue bene within the banckes of his remébrance) manifestly
perceauyng that his Master was murthered (this chaunced not farre from
Paris, by the handes of one which was a suiter to the same woma, whom
he was a wooer unto, dyd both bewraye the bloudy butcher, and attempted
to teare out the villons throate if he had not sought meanes to auoyde

the reuenging rage of the Dogge. In fyers also which fortune in the

silence and dead time of the night, or in stormy weather of the sayde
season, the older dogges barcke, ball, howle, and yell (yea notwithstandyng
they bee roughly rated) neyther will they stay their tounges till the
householde seruauntes awake, ryse, search, and see the burning of the
fyre, which beyng perceaued they vse voluntary silence, and cease from
yolping This hath bene, and is founde true by tryall, in sundry
partes of England. There was no faynting faith in that Dogge, which
when his Master by a mischaunce in hunting stumbled and fell toppling
downe a deepe dytche beyng vnabie to recouer of himselfe, the Dogge
signifying his masters mishappe, reskue came, and he was hayled up by a
rope, whom the Dogge seeying almost drawne up to the edge of the dytche,
cheerefully saluted, leaping and skipping vpon his master as though he
woulde haue imbraced hym, beyng glad of his presence, whose longer
absence he was lothe to lacke. Some Dogges there be, which will not
suffer fyery coales to lye skattered about the hearthe, but with their
pawes wil rake up the burnyng coales, musying and studying fyrst with
themselues how it might be conueniently be done. And if so bee that
the coales caste to great a heate then will they buyry them in ashes
and so remoue them forwarde toa fyt place wyth theyr noses. Other
Dogges bee there which exequute the office of a Farmer in the nyghte
tyme. For when his master goeth to bedde to take his naturall sleepe,
And when,

A hundred barres of brasse and yron boltes,

Make all things safe from startes and from reuoltes.
VVhen Ianus keepes the gate with Argos eye,
That daungers none approch, ne mischiefes nye.

As Virgill vaunteth in his verses, Then if his master byddeth him go
abroade, he lingereth not, but raungeth ouer all his lands lying there
about, more diligently, I wys, then any farmer himselfe. And if he finde
anything their that is straunge and pertaining to other persons besides

32 A treatife of

his master, whether it be man, woman, or beast, he driueth them out of
the ground, not meddling with any thing which doth belong to the
possession and vse of his master, But how much faythfulnes, so much
diuersitie there is in their natures,

Which barcke only with free and open
For there throate but will not bite,
be some, ) Which doe both barcke and byte,
Which bite bitterly before they barcke,

The first are not greatly to be feared, because they themselues are
fearefull, and fearefull dogges (as the prouerbe importeth) barcke most
vehemently.

The second are daungerous, it is wisedome to take heede of them be-
cause they sounde, as it were, an Alarum of an afterclappe, and these
dogges must not be ouer much moued or prouoked, for then they take
on outragiously as if they were madde, watching to set the print of their
teeth in the fleshe. And these kinde of dogges are fearce and eager by
nature.

The thirde are deadly, for they flye upon a man, without vtteraunce of
voyce, snatch at him, and catche him by the throate, and most cruelly
byte out colloppes of fleashe. Feare these kind of Curres (if thou bee wise
and circumspect about thine owne safetie) for they be stoute and stubborne
dogges, and set vpon a man at asodden vnwares. By these signes and
tokens, by these notes and arguementes our men discerne the cowardly
curre from the couragious dogge the bolde from the fearefull, the
butcherly from the gentle and tractable, Moreouer they coniecture that
a whelpe of an yll kinde is not worthe the keeping and that no dogge
can serue the sundry vses of men so aptly and so conueniently as this
sort of whom we haue so largely written already. For if any be disposed
to drawe the aboue named seruices into a table, what ma more clearely,
and with more vehemency of voyce giveth warning eyther of a wastefull

beaste, or of a spoiling theefe than this ? who by his barcking (as good as

Englifhe Dogges. 33

a burning beacon) foreshoweth hassards at hand? What maner of
beast stronger ? what seruait to his master more louing? what com-
panion more trustie? what watchman more vigilant? what reuenger
more constant? what messinger more speedie? what water bearer more
painefull? Finally what packhorse more patient? And thus much con-
cerning English Dogges, first of the gentle kinde, secondly of the courser
kinde. Nowe it remaineth that we deliuer vnto you the Dogges of a

mungrell or a currishe kinde, and then will wee perfourme our taske.

The fifth Seétion of this

Containing Curres of the mungrell and rascall sort and
first of the Dogge called in Latine, Admonitor
and of vs in Englishe VVappe

or V Varner.

F such dogges as keep not their kinde,
_of such as are mingled out of sundry sortes not
“imitating the conditions of some one certaine
_ spice, because they reséble no notable shape, nor

| exercise any worthy property of the true perfect

|

any more of them, but to banishe them as vnpro-

fitable ee out of the boundes of my Booke, vuprofitable I say
for any use that is commendable, except to intertaine straigers with their
barcking in the day time, giuing warnyng to them of the house, that such
& such be newly come, wherevpon wee call them admonishing Dogges,

because in that point they performe theyr office.

Of the Dogge called Tumespete in La-

tine Veruuersator.

a is comprehended, vnder the curres of the coursest kinde, a
certaine dogge in kytchen seruice excellent. For whé any meate is
to bee roasted they go into a wheele which they turning rounde about

with the waight of their bodies, so diligently looke to their businesse,

Englifhe Dogges. 35
that no drudge nor skullion can doe the feate more cunningly. Whom

the popular sort herevpon call Turnespets, being the last of all those

which wee haue first mencioned.

Of the Dogge called the Daunser, in Latine
Saltator or Tympanista.

Here be also dogges among vs of a mungrell kind which are
el and exercised to daunce in measure at the musicall sounde of
an instrument, as, at the iust stroke of the drombe, at the sweete
accent of the Cyterne, & tuned strings of the harmonious Harpe
showing many pretty trickes by the gesture of their bodies. As to stand
bolte upright, to lye flat vpon the grounde, to turne rounde as a ringe
holding their tailes in their teeth, to begge for theyr meate, and sundry
such properties, which they learne of theyr vagabundicall masters, whose
instrumentes they are to gather gaine, withall in Citie, Country, Towne,
and Village. As some which carry olde apes on their shoulders in

coloured iackets to moue men to laughter for a litle lucre.

Of other Dogges, a short conclusion, wonderfully in-
gendred within the coastes of this country.

The first bred of a bytch \In Latine

and a wolfe, Lyciscus.

Three sortes )The second of a bytyche In Latine
of them, and a foxe, Lacena.
The third of a beare and\ In Latine

a bandogge, Vreanus.

F the first we hane none naturally bred within the borders of Eng-
10) Ss The reason is for the want of wolfes, without whom no such
kinde of dog can bee ingendred. Againe it is deliuered unto thee in this
discourse, how and by what meanes, by whose benefitte, and within what

36 A treatife of

circuite of tyme, this country was cleerely discharged of rauenyng wolfes,
and none at all left, no, not to the least number, or the beginnyng of a
number, which is an Vnari.

Of the second sort we are not vtterly voyde of some, because this our
Englishe soyle is not free from foxes (for in deede we are not without a
multitude of them in so much as diuerse keepe, foster, and feede them in
their houses among their houndes and dogges, eyther for some maladie of
mind, or for some sicknesse of body,) which peraduenture the savour of
that subtill beast would eyther mitigate or expell.

The thirde kinde which is bred of a Beare and a Bandogge we want
not heare in England, (A straunge and wonderfull effect, that cruell
enimyes should enter into y° worke of copulation & bring forth so sauage
acurre.) Undoubtedly it is euen so as we haue reported, for the fyery
heate of theyr fleshe, or rather the pricking thorne, or most of all,
the tyckling lust of lechery, beareth such swinge and sway in them,
that there is no contrairietie for the time, but of constraint they must
ioyne to ingender. And why should not this bee consonant to truth ?
why shoulde not these beastes breede in this lande, as well as in other
forreigne nations? For wee reede that Tigers and dogges in Hircania,
that Lyons and Dogges in Arcadia, and that wolfes and dogges in
Francia, couple and procreate. In men and women also lyghtened with
the lantarne of reason (but vtterly voide of vertue) that foolishe,
frantique, and fleshely action, yet naturally sealed in vs) worketh so
effectuously, & many tymes it doth reconcile enimyes, set foes at freend-
ship, vnanimitie, and atonement, as Moria mencioneth. The Vrceane

which is bred of a beare and a dogge,

Is fearce, is fell, is stoute and stronge,
And byteth sore to fleshe and bone,
His furious force indureth longe

In rage he will be rul’de of none.

Englifhe Dogges. 37
That I may vse the wordes of the Poet Gratius. This dogge exceedeth

all other in cruell conditions, his leering and fleering lookes, his stearne
and sauage vissage, maketh him in sight feareful and terrible, he is violent
in fighting, & wheresoeuer he setteth his tenterhooke teeth, he taketh
such sure & fast holde, that a man may sooner teare and rende him in
sunder, then lose him and seperate his chappes. He passeth not for the
Wolfe, the Beare, the Lyon, nor the Bulle and may wortherly (as I think,)
be companpié with Alezanders dogge which came out of India. But of

these, thus much, and thus farre may seeme sufficient.

A starte to outlandishe Dogges in this conclusion,
not impertinent to the Authors purpose.

Se and custome hath intertained other dogges of an outlandishe

but a fewe and the same beyng of a pretty bygnesse, I
meane Iseland, dogges curled & rough al ouer, which by reason of the
lenght of their heare make showe neither of face nor of body. And yet
these curres, forsoothe, because they are so straunge are greatly set
by, esteemed, taken vp, and made of many times in the roome of the
Spaniell gentle or comforter. The natures of men is so moued, nay rather
marryed to nouelties without all reason, wyt, inudgement or per-
seueraunce. Epwuty aAdAorpiay, rugogmey cuyyevels.

Outlandishe toyes we take with delight

Things of our owne nation we haue in despight.

Which fault remaineth not in vs concerning dogges only, but for
artificers also. And why? itis to manyfest that wee disdayne and con-
tempne our owne workmen, be they neuer so skilfull, be they neuer so
cunning, be they neuer so excellent. A beggerly beast brought out of
barbarous borders, fro’ the vttermost countryes Northward, &c., we
stare at, we gase at, we muse, we maruaile at, like an asse of Cuma-
num, like Thales with the brasen shancks, like the man in the Moone.

you participate principall pleasure, in the knowledge in the common and
vsuall names of Dogges (as I gather by the course of your letters) I
suppose it not amysse to deliuer vnto you a shorte table contayning as
well the Latine as the Englishe names, and to render a reason of euery
particular appellation, to th’intent that no scruple may remaine in this

point, but that euery thing may bee sifted to the bare bottome.

dogge onely as serueth to hunt, and therefore it is called a hunde.
Of the Gasehound.

The Gasehounde called in latine Agaseus, hath his name of the sharp-
nesse and stedfastnesse of his eyesight. By which vertue he compasseth
that which otherwise he cannot by smelling attaine. As we haue made
former relation for to gase is earnestly to viewe and beholde, from whence
floweth the deriuation of this dogges name.

Of the Grehounde.

The Grehounde called Leporarius, hath his name of this word, Gre,
which word soundeth Gradus in latine, in Englishe degree. Because
among all dogges these are the most principall, occupying the chiefest
place, and being simply and absolutely the best of the gentle kinde of
houndes.

Of the Leuyuer or the Lyemmer.

This dogge is called a Leuyner, for his lightnesse, which in latine
soundeth Leuitas, Or a Lyemmer which worde is borrowed of Lyemme
which the latinists name Lorum; and wherefore we call him a Leuyner
of this worde Leuittas (as we doe many things besides) why we deriue and
drawe a thousand of our tearmes out of the Greeke, the Latine, the
Italian, the Dutch, the French, and the Spanishe tounge : (Out of which
fountaines indeede, they had their originall issue.) How many words

are buryed in the grave of forgetfullnes? growne out of vse? wrested

Englifhe Dogges. 41
awrye and peruersly corrupted by diuers defaultes ? we wil declare at
large in our booke intituled, Simphonia vocum Britannicarum.

Of the Tumbler.

Among houndes the Tumbler called in latine Vertagus, isthe last, which
commeth of this worde Tumbler flowing first of al out of the French
fountaine. For as we say Tumble so they Tumbier, reseruing one sense
and signification, which the latinists comprehende yvnder this worde
Vertere, So that we see thus much, that Tumbler commeth of Tumbier,
the vowel, I, chaunged into the Liquid L, after y° maner of our speache,
Contrary to the French and the Italian tounge. In which two languages,
A Liquid before a Vowell. for the most part is turned into another
Vowell, As, may be perceaued in the example of these two wordes,
Implere § plano, for Impiere § piano, L, before, E chaunged into, I,
and L, before A, turned into I, also. This I thought conuenient for

a taste.

The names of such Dogges as be contained in

the second Section.

Fter such as serue for hunting orderly doe follow such as serue for
SS... and fowling. Among which the principall and chiefest is
the Spaniell, called in Latine Hispaniolus, borrowing his name of
Hispania Spaine, wherein wee Englishe men not pronouncing the Aspira-
tion H, Nor the Vowell I, for quicknesse and redinesse of speach say
roundly A Spaniell.

Of the Setter.
The second sorte of this second division and second section, is called a
Setter, in latine Index, Of the worde Set which signifieth in Englishe that
which the Latinistes meane by this word Locum designare, y* reason is

rehersed before more largely, it shall not neede to make a new repeti-
tion.

42 A treatife of

Of the water Spaniell or Finder.

The water Spaniell consequently followeth, called in Latine Aquaticus,
in English a water spaniell, which name is compounde of two simple
wordes, namely Water, which in Latine soudeth Aqua, wherein he
swymmeth. And Spaine Hispania, the country fré whence they came,
Not that England wanted such kinde of Dogges, (for they are naturally
bred and ingendred in this country.) But because they beare the generall
and common name of these Dogges synce the time they were first
brought ouer out of Spaine. And wee make a certaine difference in this
sort of Dogges, eyther for some thing which in theyr voyce is to be
marked, or for something which in their qualities is to be considered, as
for an example in this kinde called the Spaniell by the apposition and
putting to of this word water, which two coupled together sounde water-
spaniell. He is also called a fynder, in Latine Inquisitor, because that by
serious and secure seeking, he findeth such things as be lost, which word
Finde in Englishe is that which the Latines meane by this Verbe Inuenire
This dogge hath this name of his property because the principall point of

his seruice consisteth in the premisses.

The names of such Dogges as be contained in
the thirde Section.

Ow leauing the sernuie we of hunting and hauking dogs, it
N remaineth that we runne ouer the residue, whereof some be called,
fine dogs, some course, other some mungrels or rascalls. The first is the
Spaniell gentle called Canis Meliteus, because it is a kinde of dogge
accepted among gentles, Nobles, Lordes, Ladies, &c., who make much
of them vouchsafeing to admit them so farre into their company, that
they will not onely lull them in theyr lappes, but kysse them with their

lippes. and make them theyr prettie piayfellowes. Such a one was

Englifhe Dogges. 43

Gorgons litle puppie mencioned by Theocritus Siracusis, who taking his
iourney, straightly charged & commaunded his mayde to see to his
Dogge as charely and warely as to his childe: To call him in alwayes
that he wandred not abroade, as well as to rock the babe a sleepe, erying
in the cradle. This puppitly and peasantly curre, (which some frump-
ingly tearme fysteing hounds) serue in a maner to no good vse except,
(As we haue made former relation) to succour and strengthen quailing
and quammning stomackes to bewray bawdery, and filthy abbominable
leudnesse (whiche a litle dogge of this kinde did in Sicilia) as Hlianus
in his, 7, book of beastes, and-27, chapter recordeth.

The names of such dogges as be contained in

the fourth Section.

F dogges vnder the courser kinde, we will deale first with the
oe dogge, whom we call the Bandogge, the Tydogge, or
the Mastyue, the first name is imputed to him for service Quoniam
pastort famulatur, because he is at the shepherds his masters com-
maundement. The seconde a Ligamento of the band or chaine wherewith
he is tyed. The thirde a Sagina, of the fatnesse of his body.

For this kinde of dogge which is vsually tyed, is myghty, grosse, and
fat fed. I know this that Augustinus Niphus calleth this Mastinus
(which we call Mastiuus.) And that Albertus wrtteth how the Lyciscus is
ingendred by a beare and a wolfe. Notwithstanding the self same Author
taketh it for the most part pro Molosso. A dogge of such a countrey.

The names of such dogges as be contained in

the fifte Section.

On mungrels and rascalls somwhat is to be spoken. And among
these, of y° VVappe or Turnespet which name is made of two

44 A treatife of

simple words, that is of Turne which in Latine soundeth Vertere, and of
spete which is Veru, or spede forthe Englishe word inclineth closer te
the Italian imitation : Verwuersator, Turnspet. He iscalled also VVaupe,
of the naturall noise of his voyce VVau, which he maketh in barcking.
But for the better and the redyer sounde, the vowell, u, is chaunged
into the césonant, p, so y for waupe we say wappe. And yet I wot well
that Nonius boroweth his Baubari of the natural voyce Bau, as the
Grecians doe their Bote of wau.

Now when you vnderstand this that Saltare in Latine signifieth
Dansare in Englishe. And that our dogge therevpon is called a daunser
and in the Latine Saltator, you are so farre taught as you were desirous
to learne, and now suppose I, there remaineth nothing, but that your

request is fully accomplished.

The winding vp of this worke, called the Supplement, &c.

Hus (friend Gesner) you haue, not only the kindes of our countrey
[Pete sr but their names also, as well in latine as in Englishe,
their offices, seruices, diuersities, natures properties, that you can
demaunde no more of me in this matter. And albeit I haue not
satisfied your minde peraduéture (who suspecteth al speede in the per-
formaunce of your requeste employed, to be meere delayes) because I
stayde the setting fourth of that vmperfect pamphlet which, fiue yeares
ago, I sent to you as a priuate friende for your own reeding, and not to
be printed, and so made common, yet I hope (hauing like the beare lickt
ouer my younge) I haue waded in this worke to your contentation, which
delay hath made somewhat better and d:uriea: Peavri3es, after witte more

meete to be perused.

KENNEL CHRONICLE

AND PEDIGREE REGISTER,

Published Monthly in connection with ‘The Bazaar.”

This forms a valuable Permanent Record of Facts interesting to
all Fanciers and Breeders of Dogs.

The Pedigree Register is for the Registration of the Pedigree of any Dog,
and is a feature of the greatest importance. The charge for entry in the Pedigree
Register is: For each dog or bitch which has won at_any public show or field trial, 1s.;
for dogs that have as whelps been entered in the Produce Register, Is. each; for all
other dogs, 1s. 6d. each. Forms for entry may be had free on application, or they will be
sent on receipt of a stamped and addressed envelope.

The Stud Register is for Registering Dogs at Stud, the fees, and all
particulars, and for recording Stud Visits. Stud Dogs are advertised at a charge of
ls. for twenty-four words or less, and 1d. for every two words additional. Stud Visits
are inserted free, if the information is sent by the owner of the bitch; if sent by the
owner of the dog, a charge of 6d. will be made for each entry, unless the dogis adver-
tised in the Calendar as at stud.

The Produce Register records the birth of peps by and out of pedigree
dogs, ‘The utility of this is great, as it will form indisputable evidence of age here-
after. Besides this, it is an undoubted advertisement of valuable pups. The charge for
registration is 6d.for each entry; but particulars must be sent on our certificate form,
which will be sent free on receipt of application and stamped addressed envelope. The
eerste entitles the pups to be subsequently entered in the Pedigree Book at the
reduced charge. : : d

The Sale Register chronicles changes of ownership of known dogs without
charge, and enters dogs for sale at a small charge.

The Name Register, for registering the names selected for pups, and by
which they will afterwards be known. z

Exhibitions. — The awards at all dog shows of any standing are given.
nese it has been almost impossible to ascertain whether a dog won at a certain past
show.

THE KENNEL CHRONICLE is published in the middle of each month, and all notices and
advertisements must be sent in before the 10th of the month.

ROWLAND’S ODONTO

Or PEARL DENTIFRICE is of inestimable value in preserving and beautifying
the teeth, strengthening the gums, and giving a pleasant fragrance to the breath ;
it eradicates tartar from the teeth, prevents and arrests decay, and polishes and
preserves the enamel, to which it imparts a pearl-like whiteness. Its unprecedented
success for more than half a century shows the universal favour in which it is held,
while the fact of its being entirely free from any acid or mineral ingredients:
constitutes it the safest and purest tooth powder ever used. To prevent fraud the
pee Odonto has a 3d. Government stamp on the box. Ask for Rowland’s
onto.

ROWLAND’S MACASSAR OIL

Is universally in high repute for its unprecedented success during the last 80 years
in promoting the growth, restoring, improving, and beautifying the human hair.
It prevents hair from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak hair, cleanses it
from scurf and dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft, pliable, and glossy. For
children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of
hair, while its introduction into the nursery of Royalty is a sufficient proof of its
merits. Sold in usual four sizes.

ROWLANDS KALYDOR,

An Eastern botanical preparation, perfectly free from all mineral or metallic
admixture. It is distinguished for its extremely bland, purifying, and soothing
effects on the skin; while by its action on the pores and minute secretory vessels, it
promotes a healthy tone, allays every tendency to inflammation, and thus effectually
dissipates all redness, tan, pimples, spots, freckles, discolourations, and other
cutaneous visitations. The radiant bloomit imparts to the cheek, the softness and
delicacy which it induces of the hands and arms, its capability of soothing irrita-
tion, and removing cutaneous defects, render it indispensable to every toilet.
Gentlemen after shaving will find it renders the skin soft, smooth, and pleasant.

Rather than attempt to Restore it.

1st.—Because the old fashioned and objectionable Hair Dyes dry up and spoil the Hair.
2nd.— Because the majority of ‘‘ Hair Restorers’’ bring the users into ridicule by pro-
ducing only a sickly yellow tint or dirty greenish stain, instead of a proper colour.

The following Testimonials (of many hundreds received) declare the value of

LATREILLE’S HYPERION HAIR RESTORER

As positively restoring grey or white hair to the REALLY NATURAL colour, gloss, softness, luxuriance,

and beauty of youth; it so perfectly accomplishes its work and fulfils its promise, that in brilliant sun-

shine, or under glaring gaslight, the user can alike defy detection in ever having been grey, or used a
remedy, while as a nourisher and strengthener of weak hair it has no equal.

Price 3s. 6d., sent in return for Stamps or Post Office Order, by the Proprietors,
LATREILLE & CO., Walworth, London, or may be had of Chemists;
But it is strongly advised that anything else, offered from interested motives, be resolutely refused, as

20, Royal George-street, Stockport,

February 26, 1880.
Dear S1rz,—My hair went white through trouble
and sickness, but one bottle of your Hyperion
Hair Restorer brought it back to a splendid brown,
as nice as it was in my young days. Iam now forty
years old, and all my friends wonder to see me
restored from white to brown. You can make

what use you like of this. Yours.truly,
(Mrs.) Marta WORTHINGTON.

~. , 132, High-street, Stourbridge, May 16, 1878.
S1r,—I find your Hyperion Hair Restorer is a
first-class and really genuine article, and is well
worth the money. After using it thrice, my hair
began to turn the natural colour whereas before it
was quite grey; it also keeps the hair from falling
off, and I shall always recommend it to every one I
know. You are at liberty to publish this if you

choose. Yours truly, (Mrs.) M. Davis.

LETTER FROM GENERAL SIR EDWARD WARDE, K.C.B.
October 14th, 1878.
Srr,—You will be glad to hear that one of my sons, who crossed over to Dublin in the gale
last week, found your Powder, as he says, “a brilliant success.” He gave some toa friend of
his, who was, like himself, a bad sailor, and the success was undoubted in both cases. You
can make what use you like of this. Yours faithfully, E. C. WARDE.

LETTER FROM CAPT. J. G. MORDUE, BARQUE “ELIZABETH GRAHAM.”
AGO, NEw ZEALAND.

Dear S1r,— Kindly hand the enclosed Testimonial to Mr. Hearn, with my best thanks for
the bottle of Sea Sickness Remedy that he presented me with before leaving London. It is truly
a perfect remedy for Sea Sickness, and, on future voyages with passengers, I shall never be with-
outit. When I received it from Mr. Hearn I certainly had very little faith in it, as I had never’
yet met with a cure for that much-dreaded and, in many instances, fatal malady on sea voyages
during my experience of forty years of sea life; but it assuredly is a perfect remedy, and no
mistake. Iam, dear Sir, yours faithfully,

J. GREENWAY, Esq., SHAaw, Savitt & Co. J. G. MORDUE.

COPY OF A LETTER FROM MR. EDWIN HADFIELD, PASSENGER ON BOARD
THE “ELIZABETH GRAHAM” TO NEW ZEALAND.
To Mr. ALFRED HEATH, : December 18th, 1879.
S1m,—I have used your new remedy for the prevention and cure of Sea Sickness, and have
found it the best preventive that I have ever met with. My wife is much subject to Sea Sickness.
On a voyage of twenty-one days, by the steamship “ Peruvian,” to Boston, United States, she was
in the hospital all the way, and was given up the last four days by the ship’s doctor as incurable.
T believe, if captains of vessels carrying passengers knew of its property as a preventive of Sea
Sickness, there is not one but would carry it in their medicine chest; and I am sure there would
not be a passenger but would willingly buy a bottle, as it takes that nauseous, sickly feeling away,
and prevents vomiting. On our voyage to New Zealand my wife became very sick. The captain
(Capt. Morpnve) gave me a bottle of your Preventive, and after taking it a day, Iam happy to say
she was not troubled with the Sickness afterwards ; and when Isaw a passenger sick I gave some,
and it stopped the Sickness in every case. I must say I was surprised at its marvellous results.

Yours truly, EDWIN HADFIELD.
LETTER FROM LIEUTENANT C. WARDE.
September 24th, 1879.

Srr,—As I have benefited so very much by your Medicine for Sea Sickness, I think it only
right to let you know my experience of it. I have travelled upwards of twenty-five thousan
miles by sea, and never been free from the effects of Sea Sickness until I tried your Medicine,
which I have done on several occasions of short journeys, with the most satisfactory results.
As a rule, the slightest motion affects me, but whenever, on each occasion of my using your
Medicine, other people suffered, I experienced a total immunity from any uncomfortable
sensation, and, consequently, from my present experience of it, I am inclined to think that it
is quite infallible. Faithfully yours, C. WARDE, Lieut. 19TH Hussars.

Heatu’s remedy for Sea Sickness has also been used with great success in:
other forms of sickness.
