To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Still better evidence is to be found in some of the old " Agricultural Surveys," in which the authors, not knowing of the banishment of the older cattle, speak of these great cattle that were Flemish or Dutch in appearance, size, and markings as "native," "indigenous," and so on. In Pitt's THE DUTCH INVASION 8i "Survey of Staffordshire," for instance, some enormous cattle with white faces and white backs and under-lines, are figured as old Staffordshire cattle. But perhaps the most valuable sta...tement of all is that to be found about Lord Scudamore in Cooke's continuation to Duncumb's "Collec- tions towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Hereford." Scudamore, whose family had been famous for generations for their horse- manship and breed of horses,^ was a friend of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, and, when the latter was assassinated in 1628, retired to his estate at Holme Lacy and devoted himself to agricultural improvements. His retirement was twice interrupted, first in 1634 by his becoming Ambassador in Paris for four years, and again in 1643 t>y his being imprisoned for three years for rebellion.
