Item description from seller

vi, 80pp, with illustrations in text and occasional page decorations. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering and decorations front and spine. Deep blue endpapers. Very gentle shelf wear to covers else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. An attractive edition. First published in article form in The Field and in its present form in 1913, High Pheasants in Theory and Practice was, and probably still is he last word on the subject. By the time Sir Ralph reduced the results of his experiments to print, the blood and feathers school of shooters of the 1890s had been succeeded by those to whom killing of the really high bird in difficult conditions gave far greater satisfaction.
