Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental, Aquatic, and Domestic Fowl, and Game Birds: Their Importation, Breeding, Rearing, and General Management If the gentry would procure some fine Specimens of Cochin China, Malay, Chittagong, Spanish, or Dorking, and give, or exchange their eggs, with their tenants, they would do an infinity Of service. My much regretted friend, the late William Reilly, Esq, of Belmont, Mullingar, was one of the first, of the gentry, I had the honour Of supplying with fine poultry, and never was the thing turned to better account; if any Of his tenants brought a clutch Of common eggs, into his farm-yard, they had, in exchange, for them, some of the finest Dorking, Spanish, or Aylesbury duck's eggs, and those poor people realized as many shillings for their fowl, as they had before sold them for pence - he was a true benefactor, and a worthy, upright, and intelligent gentle man, above paltry pretences; I fear we shall not look upon his like again. If our gentry would follow his example, and assist, instead of persecuting the poor, there would be a better understanding, all over the country, and they would be, as he was, respected, beloved, and venerated, and the strength and sinews of the land would not be crossing the Atlantic. Ill fares the land, to various ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made, But a bold peasantry, a country's pride, If once destroyed, can never be supplied.
