Description

Originally brought out in the columns of T he Breeder''s Gazette, these sketches attracted at once and held the close attention of thousands of delighted readers in every part of the country. In soliciting their preparation we approached the subject with the same confidence that the Prophet of old smote with his rod the rock of Horeb; but I must here and now confess that the stream of thought called forth sur passed in purity and sweetness anything anticipated.
Mr. Hastings has made a real contribution to the pastoral literature of the West; one Vitalized throughout by an intensely human touch. We count ourselves fortunate in having the privilege of giving his work this permanent form.
