'Rough Shooting,' by Q. K. Yeates
and R. N. Winnall. Philip Allan, 5/-.
From the publishers.
ALTHOUGH the society papers might
give one that Impression, shooting in
England is far from being all of the ex
pensive house-party variety, and the ob
ject of this book (witn tne one exception
of a chapter on game birds) is, in the
words of the authors, 'to give some Idea
of the amount of snooting which can be
obtained for the price of a gun licence
of 10/-.' The advice given should be
of value, therefore, to the*; country-loving
visitor of modest means. It is based on
experience gained without the purchase
oi any particular country for sporting
reasons, and points out the types of
shooting which may be had in different
localities and at different times of the
year, more especially In Lincolnshire and
on the East coast in the vicinity of the
Wash. There are chapters on pigeons,
wild geese, duck, shore birds, curlew,
plover, knot and redshank, partridge,
pheasant, hare and humble rabbit, as
well as a chapter on 'What not to
shoot.' Containing half a dozen, plates,
this practical text-book is one of several
comprising the Sportsman's Library, of
which ten have previously appeared.
