Excerpt from Gazetteer of Berkshire County, Mass., 1725-1885, Vol. 1 We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in the book will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief description of the county the Scope of the work enables us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may prove an aid to future historians, who will be the better able to do full justice to the subject.

Book Description
Excerpt from Berkshire Parish Registers, Vol. 1: Marriages The present volume is the first of a series which the Editor hopes may be continued until all the Parish Registers of Berkshire have been printed. The advantage of having our ancient parish registers thus rendered accessible to the student is obvious. Great progress has been made In the neighbouring counties: no less than fourteen volumes of Gloucestershire Registers, eleven of Hampshire and six of Wiltshire have already been issued. The Editor trusts that, now the Berkshire series has been commenced, it will be possible to issue two volumes annually; but to secure such progress both transcribers and subscribers are requisite.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Berkshire Medical Journal, 1861, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Interests of Rational Medicine The only point in the anatomy of diphtheria not yet specially described, is an inflammation of the salivary glands and the neigh boring lymphatics, which arises in a large proportion of the cases. At first it is merely a congestion, succeeding the first symptoms by several days, which in moderate cases may subside without inflammation. But in grave cases, the submaxillary and parotid glands, and sometimes also some of the cervical glands, become immensely enlarged and softened, and the surrounding areolar tissue infiltrated with pus - the whole producing one large. Uniform, doughy swelling, which fills up the neck to the level Of the jaw, or even extends beyond it. The pus is discharged finally through the skin, in cases which recover; in fatal cases; death usually occurs too early to allow it to point.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the American Berkshire Association, Vol. 1: July 1879 The mere Opinion, however, of an unknown writer in a matter of this kind, carries with it comparatively little weight. Without, therefore, attempt ing to enlarge upon the subject by giving my own views and experiences, I beg to call the attention of your readers to a few facts gathered from the val nable treatise on the Hog written by Hon. Thomas Pollard, Commissioner of Agriculture of Virginia. In 1878 Dr. Pollard issued a circular to the swine breeders of his State asking for information on the subject of Hog Raising. Replies were received from many of the best informed citizens in the com monwealth, and men of experience in business of breeding hogs for pork. From Dr. Pollard's summary of these replies we learn that the Berkshires are preferred to breed from by 33 per cent. Of those who replied. The re maining 67 dividing their preferences among four other varieties mentioned and the native stock. We learn further, that 79 per cent. Preferred the Berk shire and its crosses, while others liked various other crosses. Dr. Pollard says, a large majority prefer the Berkshire hogs, particularly the Berkshire boar for crossing on either common sows or on pure breeds of other varieties. Further on, the Dr. Remarks As to the kinds of hogs to raise and breed from, we must have something to say. If we desire to raise hogs to sell for breeding purposes, then we must raise the purest, most highly improved stock. If for pork, a mixed breed or grade will generally besit subserve our purpose. The preference of hog-breeders at this time in this country seems divided between the Berkshire, Essex, and Poland, some few preferring the Chester, and Jersey Red. In England the Suffolk is a very popular breed, some say the most so, though in this Country it has not much popularity. In Virginia, at this time, the Berkshire is undoubtedly the most popular, and appears in my judgment to possess the most good qualities. Gen. John M. Payne, of Lynchburg, Va. In his reply to Dr. Pollard's circular, says A good stock to start with IS all important; nearly half the battle I prefer the pure Berkshire which may justly be regarded as the standard breed of the day. The hogs of this breed are active, hardy and industrious; they mature at an early age and are remarkable for their fine bone and neatness of proportion. The sows are, as a rule, very prolific, and kind mothers; they give a great deal of milk, and the young pigs thrive and grow very rapidly.
