A Short Treatise on Hunting: Fox, Hare, Stag and Otter

This is a republication of that edition. Chapters on hunting the hare, fox, stag and otter. Illustrated with early woodcuts. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
