Game birds and shooting-sketches: illustrating the habits, modes of capture, stages of plumage and the hybirds & varieties which occur amongst them

London: H. Sotheran, 1894. — 234 p.In sending forth the second edition of these Shooting-Sketches the Author has not found it necessary to make any material alterations beyond the withdrawal of the coloured plates which where to be found in the first edition.
This not only has the effect of reducing the original price of the work considerably, but also allows it to be reissued in a simpler and handier form for sportsmen and naturalists generally.
The success of the first edition and requests of my friends who were not in a position to obtain the first edition, combined with a growing taste in the British public for specialistic literature both in sport, art, and ornithology, have induced me to produce the book in its present form; and with all the newest forms of process-illustrations I trust that the look will give as much pleasure to the reader as it has given me in its compilation.
