Buchbeschreibung (Hardcover, 1971). (1893) 1971 facsimile edition. 8vo (145 x 222mm). Ppxii,366,vi,393. B/w plates, maps. Blue cloth, gilt titles to spine. Spine slightly shaken, slight stains to cloth. Good copy in faded and used dust-wrapper. Reprinted from the first edition of 1893, edited by Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey. A keen military officer and sportsman throughout his life, Colonel Peter Hawker not only enjoyed the challenge that technical innovation and adaptation of certain sporting guns brought him, he was also at leisure, with large, independent means and numerous people at his command. If he had a whim to go wildfowling even in the severest of weathers, he was able to. For most of his adult life Hawker wrote a diary, extracts of which - on sporting subjects - were published posthumously. What his diary details is the 'gentleman's pursuits' in game shooting and fishing, with numbers bagged and techniques used, but also the social obligations of a man of his class and the fact that if he did go out punt gunning in the worst weather, he would suffer from a chill for the next few days, but then, he could always afford the doctor! .
