IN PRAISE OF HAWKING By James Edmund Harting With contributions by:
Rev. Gage Earl Freeman and Col. H. Ward A READ COUNTRY BOOKS
CLASSIC REPRINT This collection of scarce articles on falconry have
been gleaned from sporting publications of the late 1800s. Both
Harting and Freeman were well known falconers who wrote various
books on the sport. They also contributed many learned articles to
the sporting press of the time and were often requested for
chapters on falconry for insertion in other authors books. This
book carries selected items from the above, most of which will have
been unread by the many devotees of this fast growing pastime. The
book consists of 160 pages with superb black and white
illustrations by famous wildlife artists Archibald Thorburn and
George E. Lodge. Contents Include: Hawks and Hawking. Origins and
History. The Boke of St. Albans. Hawking as Taught by the Boke of
St. Albans. Taking Passage Hawks in Holland. How to Train a Passage
Hawk. In Praise of Hawking. Rabbit Hawking. Partridge Hawking.
Falcons and Falconry. Deer Hawking in India. By Col. H. Ward. etc.
This book will appeal greatly to all with a serious interest in
falcons and falconry. Many of the earliest sporting books,
particularly those dating back to the 1800s are now extremely
scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original text and artwork.
