In den WarenkorbALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1917). (1903) 1917 14th edition. Large 8vo (150 x 230mm). Ppxviii,614,ad. B/w photograph plates, illustrations. Original buckram with tipped-on photograph. Cloth very well-used but a strong serviceable working copy. This is a detailed ac…count of what the gamekeeper and his profession should look like, from the point of view of the master of the establishment. "This book is written for 'the good keeper who knows his work, and for the bad one who does not.'" "Even taking the master on the highest plane, he can never be more than a very good amateur. The keeper is, .a specialist. Within the limits of his duties, a keeper should know all that is to be known, and in the majority of cases should know infinitely more than his master. .This ideal can only be reached if a keeper bases his knowledge and his work on the possibility of his master being an absolute ignoramus on all matters, not even excepting the handling of a gun." More generally, Mackie observes, there is in ".[ball] games a competitive or a team play spirit which, admirable in itself, is something apart from the essential quality of real sport. We must not be led to confuse the narrower and more specialised outlook and training of the athlete with the very much higher craft of the hunter. The one is an accomplishment, the other in a much wider sense a liberal education." Chapters on the different aspects of a keeper's work; on poachers, vermin, dogs, game, deer, rabbits, fisheries, & etc. Includes a chapter on "A Christmas tiger shoot" by Bunnie Wyndham-Quin. .

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Complete set of the Oxford History of England in 16 volumes (17 books, volume I being issued in two books), including the consolidated index volume. All volumes other than I B uniformly bound in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine. Volume I… B has black cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine and, being a later addition to the series, is printed on different, acidic-free, paper. 8vos. All volumes are in near fine condition, being neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. All volumes in their original dust wrappers, very slightly shelf worn and lightly bumped at edges, with a couple of short creases and scuffs here and there. The Oxford History of England was originally planned as a 14 volume series spanning the history of England from Roman times to the outbreak of the first world war. However, since the first edition of the first volume appeared in 1931, the series has been substantially revised and enlarged, with some volumes being replaced by revised editions and a 15th volume taking the story to the end of the second world war added. Some of the volumes are considered the classic work on their period but overall the reputation of the series is mixed. The volumes contained in this complete set are: I A - Roman Britain; I B - The English Settlements; II - Anglo-Saxon England; III - From Domesday to Magna Carta; IV - The Thirteenth Century; V - The Fourteenth Century; VI - The Fifteenth Century; VII - The Earlier Tudors; VIII - The Reign of Elizabeth; IX - The Early Stuarts; X - The Later Stuarts; XI - The Whig Supremacy; XII - The Reign of George III; XIII - The Age of Reform; XIV - England, 1870-1914; XV - English History, 1914-1945; The Consolidated Index. A very large, very heavy set (circa 17kg packed weight) which will likely incur an additional charge for overseas delivery.
