An 1811 New York translation of Mr. Tessier's French government-commissioned treatise on merino and other sheep, with added notes for American agriculturalists. It covers sheep breeds, forming and crossing flocks, flock economics, breeding and lambing, housing, pasturing, shearing, washing and selling wool, and a long section on diseases and their treatment. It ends with a chapter on shepherds and dogs and an appendix of further ailments and remedies. Plates show a sheep-house, a machine, and sheep teeth at different ages, and there are several financial tables of flock accounts.
