"This Monograph on the Greyhound is one of a series [each of which] 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 for the completeness of detail which the specialist demands." Breeding and rearing greyhounds and coursing. An appendix gives Waterloo Cup winners from 1836 to 1886. This edition includes two chapters taken from other works, being the chapters on the greyhound from Vero Shaw's The Illustrated History of the Dog, and James Watson's The Dog Book. Chapters include: The modern Greyhound; Coursing; Breeding; Rearing; Training; Waterloo Cup winners.
