Book Description

This special re-print edition of the 1773 Edition of James Campbell's book "A Treatise of Modern Falconry" has not been available to fans of falconry since it first appeared on the scene in the 18th Century. The demand for this rare book has brought forth the much needed reprint of this famous classic falconry work. A Treatise of Modern Falconry will shed considerable light on the history of the management of hawks and falcons for the sport of falconry, including age old techniques as they were practiced in the 18th Century. Chapters include The Implements of Falconry, The Proper Method of Hooding Hawks, The Training of Young Hawks To The Lure, Feeding Hawks, Management of the Hawk, Birding Hawks, The Merin, The Gyr Falcon, The Goshawk, The Sparrowhawk and more. This hard to find to find text offers a fascinating look into the practice of Falconry in 18th Century England and elsewhere.
