Item description from seller

Tooley 393; Schwerdt II, 127.- Erste Ausgabe.- 'Gamonia is valuable not only for its rarity and charm, it is the first treatise devoted solely to the subject of pheasant rearing, covert shooting, and the management of woodlands for the special purpose of preserving game. We can see much of what is (Rawstone's) mind in the treatment of the subjects he has chosen for illustration: in the quiet ridicule of the unskilled, in the hint of knowledge of how the thing could and should be done, in the cold and snow in which he likes to set his sportsmen seeking their quarry .'
