Buchbeschreibung (Paperback, 1988). (1814) 1988 facsimile reprint. 8vo paperback (145 x 216mm). Pp152. Small b/w vignettes. Fine copy of a rather inferior reprint. "The author having been attached to the sod at a very early period of life - and having lived in a part of the country high in repute for that noble bird, the Game Cock; where as great a variety of birds were exhibited in all their various process of refinement as any individual amateur could enjoy, he flatters himself that by such superior means of collecting information his attempt at writing "The Cocker" will be found to contain not only instruction, but be a source of amusement to the reader". A rather shoddy reprint from Dr Batty's Nimrod Press. It won't enhance your bookshelf much, but this is an inexpensive way of getting the text of this scarce book. . Artikel-Nr. 5040
