Excerpt from The Blue Andalusian: Its Breeding, Management, and ExhibitionI hardly think that any apology is necessary for the introduction of another monograph upon that handsome variety of domestic poultry the Blue Andalusian, for although the breed is now one of our old-established ones, the strict demands of the fancier upon the delicate ground colour and lacing have become so very much more pronounced in recent years, and so great an improvement is required upon what satisfied the most critical judges of even a dozen years ago, that the necessity for some work upon the subject, written up as near as may be to the requirements of the times, will, I trust, justify the publication of these pages.Being fully aware that the value of a work of this kind would be considerably enhanced as a book of reference if it contained more than the simple experience of one individual, I have been only too pleased to avail myself of the kind assistance of several of the principal breeders of the variety, and must take this opportunity of thanking them for the information that they have so ungrudgingly afforded me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
