Ward A READ COUNTRY BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT This collection of scarce articles on falconry have been gleaned from sporting publications of the late 1800s. Both Harting and Freeman were well known falconers who wrote various books on the sport.

This book carries selected items from the above, most of which will have been unread by the many devotees of this fast growing pastime.
