Original 1745 British publication - An act to enable His Majesty to make rules, orders and regulations more effectually to prevent the spreading of the distemper which now rages amongst the horned cattle in this kingdom. Published by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King’s Most Excellent Majesty. 1745. This publication deals with the rules, orders, and regulations set forth by the King to Parliament to prevent the spread if cattle distemper. In 1745, the term "distemper" likely referred to a widespread disease, possibly an epidemic or a specific animal ailment. It's important to note that "distemper" can have different meanings depending on the context (human, animal, or even metaphoric). The search results suggest a significant outbreak of cattle plague in England between 1745 and 1758, with its peak around 1747-48. 7 ½” x 12 ¼” and 8 pages. A few pages are separated, but the booklet is complete. Some mild age related discoloration in the text. See scans.
