"Hawking or Faulconry" was originally published in 1686 as part of
the author's classic work - "The Gentleman's Recreation.," and is
now considered an important milestone in the early history of
Falconry. First editions of this work are now extremely rare and
consequently expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now republished it
using the original text and engravings. One hundred and fifty five
pages contain twenty five detailed chapters: - Directions for
Taking Hawks. - Of the Several Sorts of Hawks. - The Gerfaulcon. -
The Slight Faulcon. - The Lanner. - The Merlin. - The Hobby. - The
Bawrel. - The Castrel. - The Goshawk. - The Sparrow Hawk. -
Reclaiming the Haggard-Faulcon. - Enseaming a Faulcon. - Bathing a
Hawk. - Making a Hawk Bold and Hardy. - Feeding. - Hern Hawking. -
Brook Hawking. - Rules for the Mew. - Falconers Rules. - Falconry
Terms. - Diseases and Cures. - Choice and Use of Spaniels. -
Certain Terms of Art. - Hawking Statutes. Etc. Also incorporated in
the contents is a thirty two page preface with notes on the history
of this, and other important falconry books. This is a fascinating
read for any Falconry enthusiast or historian, but also contains
much information that is still useful and practical today. 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.
