This fascinating book of Scottish field sports was first published
in London 1889 and is now extremely scarce in the first edition. We
are now republishing it from the original text and illustration.
The author, although an expert and experienced shooting man and
salmon angler, did not write this book with any intention of
teaching his readers "How to Sport.." Rather, its 406 pages are
devoted to a comprehensive chronicle of the facts and figures,
sporting records and natural history relating to the field sports
of that period. Twenty four detailed chapters include: - Scotland's
Most Famous Out of Door Sports. - Scotland's Deer and Grouse
Grounds. - Deer. Natural History and Stalking. - Hare Coursing. -
Rabbits for Sport and Food. - The Grouse Family. - Natural Economy
of a Grouse Moor. - Pheasants and Partridges. - Other Birds of
Sport. - Poaching. - Gamekeepers. - Supply and Value of Game. -
Game in Larder, Kitchen, and Dining Room. - Salmonia. Natural
History and Fishing. - Troutiana. - Trout and Sport in the Borders.
- Vermin of the Moors and Manors. - The Fox and Foxhunting. - Golf.
- Curling. - Patrons and Parasites of Sport. Etc. This unusual and
eminently readable book can be thoroughly recommended for inclusion
in the library of all true country sportsmen. Many of the earliest
sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are
now extremely scarce and very expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
