Overview

This text is part of a series devoted to English birds and beasts generally included under the term, 'game'. It gives information on their birth and breeding, and includes every known method of circumventing and killing them - even those employed by poachers. This part covers: The Partridge, The Grouse, The Pheasant, The Hare, The Rabbit, and Wildfowl, as well as including details on natural history, shooting, and cookery. This text is perfect for those with an interest in the game of England, and makes for a great addition to collections of antique sporting literature. Alfred Edward Thomas Watson (1849-1922) was an English sports writer who contributed numerous articles to the Encyclop dia Britannica. This text has been elected for modern republication due to its educational value, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on shooting wildfowl.
