Don't talk to me, miss, said her ladyship. "I don't want to hear
any nonsense from you " The pretty, frightened girl who shared the
drawing-room at this moment with Lady Linden of Cornbridge Manor
House had not dared to open her lips. But that was her ladyship's
way, and "Don't talk to me " was a stock expression of hers. Few
people were permitted to talk in her ladyship's presence. In
Cornbridge they spoke of her with bated breath as a "rare masterful
woman," and they had good cause. Masterful and domineering was Lady
Linden of Cornbridge, yet she was kind-hearted, though she tried to
disguise the fact. In Cornbridge she reigned supreme, men and women
trembled at her approach. She penetrated the homes of the
cottagers, she tasted of their foods, she rated them on
uncleanliness, drunkenness, and thriftlessness; she lectured them
on cooking.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for
quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in
an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

BULLDOGS AND ALL ABOUT THEM By F. Barrett Fowler A VINTAGE DOG
BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT "Bulldogs" was originally written by Henry
St. John Cooper in 1914. This new edition was revised, updated, and
almost completely re-written by F. Barrett Fowler in 1925. Any
edition of this book on the Bulldog is now both expensive and hard
to find. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished the revised edition,
using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC
BREED BOOKS series. The author was a well known and respected
breeder who had much success with his show Bulldogs. He was also a
prolific contributor to the dog press of that era. The book's two
hundred and forty eight pages are divided into fourteen
comprehensive chapters: Early History of the Bulldog - Comparison
of the Dogs of Twenty Years Back With Those of Today. - Standard
Description of the Bulldog. - How to Breed - Choosing the Best Sort
of Brood Bitch. - Whelp Protecting, Foster Mothers and Weaning. -
The Best Class of Kennel. - The Bulldog Instinct, Temper and
Intelligence. - House Dog and Guard Dog. - Study of Pedigrees and
How to Choose a Stud Dog. - Ailments and Best Food. - Exhibiting.
Rules of the Show Ring and Judging. - Early Dog Shows. - Buying and
Selling. - Leading Bulldog Societies. - Sending Dogs to Shows and
Abroad. - Regulations. - The English Bulldog. - The French Bulldog.
Etc. The thirty six page chapter on the French Bulldog will prove
of particular interest to some breeders. The book is well
illustrated with many text drawings and numerous vintage black and
white photographs of famous Bulldogs. This is a fascinating read
for any Bulldog enthusiast or historian of the breed, but also
contains much informationthat is still useful and practical today.
Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
