"The various breeds of Spaniels have for centuries enjoyed such popularity, and have still in the twentieth such hosts of admirers, that it has been felt that there was room for a work devoted entirely to them, which would be in some measure a history of each variety, more especially of the period which has elapsed since the establishment of dog shows has encouraged careful and scientific breeding, and to some extent serve also as guide to those who intend in the future to take up spaniels and breed them".
