The Master of Game: The Oldest English Book on Hunting
Edward, of Norwich
Hunting -- Early works to 1800
_Land and Water._--"This is really an extremely interesting book, and
if Mr. Baillie-Grohman is as painstaking and accurate with his rifle
as he is with his pen, it is small wonder that he is in the front rank
of contemporary sportsmen."
_The Standard._--"Singularly interesting and amusing ... sumptuous
book ... an immense amount of bibliographical information.... Mr.
Baillie-Grohman is a hunter of world-wide experience, and his
authority will be generally recognised."
_Morning Post._--"Magnificent folio ... the editors' notes on the text
are full of far-sought information, and, what is more, are
delightfully written.... Happy is the sportsman and scholar who has a
copy of it."
_The Country Gentleman._--"Mr. and Mrs. Baillie-Grohman have done
their work as editors admirably ... nothing could be better than the
general 'get-up' of this charming volume."
_New York Herald._--"Magnificent edition of the 'Master of Game,'
edited with a loving care that makes it a literary marvel. No labour,
no expense has been too great for the editors of this truly splendid
edition of a singularly interesting work."
_Chicago Tribune._--"Sumptuous folio of the first importance to
students ... it must ever be considered a classic of its kind."
_The Nation_ (New York).--"One can hardly speak too highly of the
loving and enthusiastic care which the editors have manifested in
preparing the work for publication."
