London. The Research Publishing Co. Ltd., 1914. 1st Edition. 8vo.

Internally very good with odd stain. Small piece torn from the title page but not affecting the text. Scarce.

A practical guide to "modern" shikar, with everything required for a successful outcome, and even with cooking techniques: "There is no nicer way of cooking birds than the old time-honoured method of baking them whole in their feathers, by covering them in clay, and having dug a hole in the ground, and thoroughly heated it, place the bird in as a loaf of bread into an oven." - The author recommends currying an antelope, having parboiled the meat in a "kaffir pot".
