Excerpt from The Brahma Fowl: A Monograph
This little work, whatever its merits or defects, was not written from a poultry-fancier's mere unconsidered enthusiasm for his favorite fowl. After much study of many breeds, and considerable experience in many ways, we had come to the conclusion that the Brahma - though not perfect, or even suitable for every purpose - is upon the whole best adapted to the English climate, and occupies a position among poultry similar to that of the Shorthorn among other races of cattle. It will thrive and pay where no other can be kept in health; and as a purveyor - not of the very choicest - but of choice, honest, solid food, it is what Miss Watts has said, "about the best fowl we have ever had."
We have however found that the breed has been often misunderstood, both as to its qualities and management, so that even its merits have been converted into defects.
