Book Description
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Literary Journal: Or, Weekly Register of Criticism and Belles Lettres; June, 1829-December, 1829 We owe much of the superiority of our present breed of greyhounds to the perseverance and judgment of the late Earl of Oxford, of Houghton in Norfolk; and it is supposed he obtained the great depth of chest and strength of his breed from crossing with the bull-dog. At his death his greyhounds were sold by auction, and some of his best were purchased by Colonel Thornton; from one of them, Claret, which was put to a favourite bitch of )iajor Topham's, was produced the best greyhound that ever appeared, Snowball although, indeed, he was nearly equalled by his brothers, Major and Sylvia, who were all of the same litter. They were never beaten, and may be considered as examples of the most perfect greyhound. The shape, make, elegant structure, and other character istics of high blood, were equally distinguishable in all the three the colour of Snowball was a jet-black, and, when in good running condition, was as fine in the skin as black satin. Major and Sylvia were singularly, but beautifully, brindled. Snowball won ten large pieces of silver plate, and upwards of forty matches, his master having accepted every challenge, whatever might be the dogs of different counties which were brought against him. His descend ants have generally been equally successful. The last match run by this celebrated dog was against the famous greyhound Speed, the property of Hall Plumber, Esq. Of Bilton Park, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He gained the match; and so severe was the run, that Speed died soon after it. This terminated the career of Snow ball's public coursing, as the owner, in consideration of his age, then declared he should never run another. This dog was perhaps the eetest of his race that ever ran, and, like the Flying Childers, which was the swiftest of horses, may never be outstripped in rapidity of move ments. - Pp. 109, 110. One of the most 'placid, obedient, serene, and grateful members of the canine race, is the shepherd's dog, whose greatest delight seems to be when he is employed in any kind of useful service. Captain Brown has given many anecdotes of this animal's instinctive propensity to industry, and inviolable fidelity; but we have room for only one, which, we believe, has been supplied by lllr Hog.

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Literary Journal, or Weekly Register of Criticism and Belles Lettres: January, 1830 June, 1830 The second period of his history commences in his 29th year. He had his choice to be made first-liante nant of a frigate, or captain of a sloop of war, and prefer red the former. In this post he had for a while no other opportunity of showing his zeal and energy, than what was afforded by the necessity of keeping a strict look-out to prevent desertion while the fleet was frozen in during the winter. The American arms were first tried at sea in the afi'air of the Glasgow, ofi' Block Island. For their behaviour on this occasion, two of the American captains were immediately alter brought to a court-martial; but the inferior emeers were declared to have done their duty. In 1777, Jones was appointed by Congress to the oom mand of a squadron of five vessels, destined for the attack of Pensacola. This projected expedition came to nought, through the jealousy of the commander-ia-chief; and shortly after, Jones was dispatched to France on board the Ranger, with instructions to the American Commis sioners at Paris to procure him a good vessel, and em ploy him ia Europe, should any thing ofi'sr there likely to prove conducive to the interests of the republic. After magnificent premises, with tardy and petty performance, Jones was sent with the Ranger to cruise oi? The coasts of Britain. In this expedition he took several merchant vessels, eii'ected a landing at Whitehaven and St Mary's Isle, encountered and took the Drake ship of war, and returned to Brest, in May, 177 8, after exciting the appro hensions of the whole British coast, and obtaining a null.
