About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897. Sixth Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. This book has been professionally rebound in a cloth binding. Part of the original frontis design has been retained, there is a new spine label. stamped on the verso of the illustration facing the title page is "Young Men's Christian Association of the City of Albany, N., Y." and there is an embossed blindstamp on title page. This is the sixth edition rewritten, and with many additional illustrations. There are some numbers written in ink and printed on preface page. "This book, first published in 1881, was written with a view to supplying such information relative to fire-arms as is most frequently sought by sportsmen. Numerous recent inventions have proved of such value that certain weapons, current when former editions were published, have been superseded by others of distinct type; therefore, to make the history of the gun's development complete, it was necessary not only to rearrange, but to rewrite. This has been done, and the present edition is practically a new work." 768 pages plus ads; 7 x 9
