Encyclopedia entry on sheep from an early nineteenth-century London encyclopaedia (pp. 158-166). It opens with etymology and literary quotations for sheep-related words, then covers the uses of sheep, British and Irish breeds including the Leicestershire breed of Bakewell, feeding on turnips, Spanish migratory flocks and their management, the rot and flukes, anointing against scab, and advice on buying sheep. Wool is mentioned only in passing as part of breed and fleece quality.
