About This Item
London: W. Piper, Brothers, & Co, 1851. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A short book on training and caring for hunting dogs. With a frontispiece engraving of a retriever and a duck. The British game laws then in effect are printed as the final chapter. This is the companion volume to the author's The Gun and How to Use It. This first edition is uncommon.
83 pages. First edition (first printing). A very good copy (spine darkened, dime-sized spot on front cover) in original or at least contemporary cloth. The book was (also) issued in wrappers (paperback); the later editions, from the 1860s, have a gilt design on the cover unlike this copy in plain cloth.
