A review reprinted from the Polytechnic Review in the Living Age of William Walton's book on naturalizing the alpaca in the British Isles. It summarizes the book's contents, including the alpaca's wool and meat, its suitability to British soil and climate, and the benefits for farmers and manufacturers. It quotes passages on the animal's hardiness in snow and storms, and mentions breeders such as Prince Albert and the Earl of Derby. It ends with a letter from G. Stirling about showing an alpaca at the Glasgow Highland show in 1844.
