"This Monograph on the Greyhound is one of a series, the object of which is to meet the requirements of the very large and increasing class of fanciers who take special interest in one or other variety of the dog. Each Monograph is an enlargement from "British Dogs," giving such additional matter as the modern fancier requires, but which is outside the scheme of the comprehensive work, written for the lover of the dog in general who does not seek the completeness of detail which the specialist demands". Breeding and rearing greyhounds and coursing. An appendix gives Waterloo Cup winners from 1836 to 1886. Chapters include; The modern greyhound; Coursing; Breeding; Rearing; Training; Waterloo Cup winners.
