About This Item
1844 Sportsmen Instructions Guns Shooting Hawker Game BEAUTIFUL Leather Binding
"Instructions to Young Sportsmen in All That Relates to Guns and Shooting" by Lieut. Col. Peter Hawker serves as an essential guide for the 19th-century novice in the realm of shooting and game pursuit. Originally penned in 1814 for a close circle of Hawker's sporting companions, the book focuses on practical insights drawn from years of the author's hands-on experiences. Hawker prioritizes conveying the intricacies of approaching wild birds, a topic he believed was less commonly addressed. Moreover, he delves into the specifics of guns and other related subjects, strictly relying on his own experiments and findings rather than leaning on other publications. The work stands out for its authentic content, shunning embellishments or borrowed anecdotes. Written in a direct, conversational tone, Hawker hoped to impart invaluable knowledge to his readers while seeking understanding for any perceived stylistic shortcomings.
