Alpaca
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page review, reprinted from the Spectator in the Living Age, of William Walton's book urging the naturalization of the Alpaca in the British Isles. The reviewer summarizes Walton's case for the Alpaca over the Llama (better wool, meat and constitution) and the earlier attempts at introduction in Britain. He cautions that the author overrates the meat and underrates the difficulties, but considers the fleece valuable to manufacturers and the experiment worth a larger trial, with pure breeding and careful management.
