That Country Prior: Ayrshires originated in the county of Ayr, Scotland. They were first recognized as a dairy breed in 1814, but prior to that date they were often referred to as "Cunningham" or "Dun-lop" cattle. They were improved by crossing with other breeds, one of which was the Teeswater, the forerunner of the Shorthorn.
Prior to 1840 only about 17 head of Ayrshires were imported into the United States. During the next 20-year period, about 200 more were imported. The early Ayrshire breeders were located in New England, but the breed eventually became established throughout the country.
Ayrshires are also numerous in Britain, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and several South American countries.
Of the various methods for curtailing unprotected speech, prior restraints are among the most severely condemned. Authorities have argued that the 1st Amendment was primarily intended to prohibit prior restraints, the traditional form of censorship. The absence of previous restraint is what William Blackstone meant by liberty of the press.
His latest work ap-leared in 1791, under the title of a 'Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge which he Ancients Had of India, and the Progress if Trade with that Country Prior to the Dis-overy of the Cape of Good Hope.' Consult An Account of the Life and Writings of Wil-am Roberston' (1801-02); Gleig, 'Life and Writings of William Robertson' (1812) ; Gra-am, 'Scottish Men of Letters in the 18th Cen-10° (1901). |
