The second and best edition of Harting's manual on the management of hawks and a historical and descriptive explanation on practical falconry.

Plates and illustrations include a hooded falcon on block, heron hawking, kite hawking with jerfalcons, the falconer's knot, a falcon in flight, etc. The first edition of this work appeared in 1884 with the same publisher.

Good copy of this manual on practical falconry and the management of hawks. - Barber 7. OCLC 23929448. Cf. Harting 80 (first edition). Schwerdt I, 233 (first edition).
