Originally published in 1883, this early work on The dog and the sportsman is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. With chapters on The pointer & Setter, The Terrier, Hints to shooters as well as a section on the diseases of dogs, this book is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all hunters as it contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
