  • In the Shetland Islands the cattle and inhabitants have been dying for want, A letter dated from Shetland observes that "great as the suffering is in consequence of the failure of last year's crop, the prospect before Shetland, as regards the next crop, is still more appalling. Farming operations are not yet begun, nor is there, at this moment, any indication of spring more than there was in the month of December. The ground is at present, and has been for more than a month, covered with snow, and the frost is far more intense than we usually have it in the middle of winter. The cattle are dying for want of fodder; and in their struggles to save those that are yet alive, the poor people are giving them what little corn they had reserved for seed." - from the The Gentleman's Magazine, January to June 1837, p 533.
