Excerpt: ...years ago since the first great outbreak of disease which I can remember took place. The birds were nearly decimated by the scourge, and their number has never increased to the same extent as before it broke out. As the shootings for several years have been let, they probably never will become so numerous again. The days are past when all the birds on the Castle O'er grounds might have been one day shot, and still on the next a very good " bag" could have been made from the birds which had come over the march from the Duke of Buccleuch's unlet shootings. Besides this wealth of birds at home, my brother, Mr Wilson, and Professor Aytoun joined in taking the shooting of Glendinning in Westerkirk, the property of Sir Frederick johnstone of Westerhall, and which ground marches with Castle O'er, or rather Crurie. Over this additional range of ground big bags were made, all shot over dogs: the luxurious driving butt was not then invented. About this time Professor Wilson and Sheriff Gordon were frequent visitors at Billholm, as well as Professor Aytoun, and my reminiscences embrace many happy days listening to the learned conversation of four men who were great wits, as well as learned. I was then a young lad, and many jokes were practised at my expense by Aytoun and my brother-in-law during our wanderings over the hills. One episode which I remember was anything but a joke to me. The Professor possessed a setter which was treated more as a pet than a sporting relegated to the kennel after a day's sport, it slept in the bedroom occupied by him and Mrs Aytoun. Once when the beast was ailing, Mrs M Aytoun got out of her bed in the middle of the night and boiled water on the kitchen fire wherewith to bathe its...

Download or read book Beastly London written by Hannah Velten and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horse-drawn cabs rattling down muddy roads, cattle herded through the streets to the Smithfield meat market for slaughter, roosters crowing at the break of dawn—London was once filled with a cacophony of animal noises (and smells). But over the last thirty years, the city seems to have banished animals from its streets. In Beastly London, Hannah Velten uses a wide range of primary sources to explore the complex and changing relationship between Londoners of all classes and their animal neighbors. Velten travels back in history to describe a time when Londoners shared their homes with pets and livestock—along with a variety of other pests, vermin, and bedbugs; Londoners imported beasts from all corners of the globe for display in their homes, zoos, and parks; and ponies flying in hot air balloons and dancing fleas were considered entertainment. As she shows, London transformed from a city with a mainly exploitative relationship with animals to the birthplace of animal welfare societies and animal rights’ campaigns. Packed with over one hundred illustrations, Beastly London is a revealing look at how animals have been central to the city’s success.
